Mr. Speaker. today in Arizona. our Government begins its prosecution of 12 church workers who are charged with providing sanctuary to Salvadoran refugees. There has been very little publicity on this case considering its tremendous impact on the 500.000 Salvadoran refugees and the thousands of American church workers in the United States because the trial judge imposed a gag order on the defendants this past summer. But there are some serious questions about the Governments activities in this case that ought to be considered very carefully. In order to gather the evidence against the church workers. the Government sent undercover agents into churches to pose as religious congregants and supporters of the sanctuary movement.
