Mr. Speaker. today I will circulate amongst my colleagues in the House and Senate an important letter addressed to them by the Roman Catholic archbishop of San SalvadorArturo Rivera Y Damas. In a powerful and eloquent statement. the archbishop appeals to this Congress to double our efforts against the continued deportation of Salvadoran refugees now in the United States. He stresses that the refugees who have fled his country need temporary protection because violence and civil strife are still very much a part of daily life in El Salvador. Mr. Speaker. there is more than ample evidence to compel this Congress and this administration to extend temporary refuge to Salvadorans.
