I recently received a letter from Holly Burkhalter. Washington representative for the American Watch Committee. in which she details the ongoing atrocities committed against the Salvadoran people by government forces and by guerrillas. Her letter points out quite clearly that violence and terror are still very much a fact of life in El Salvador. Mr. Speaker. I am the author of legislation. H.R. 822. which would temporarily suspend the deportation of Salvadorans now in the United States. This legislation was recently reported by the Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees and International Law to the full Judiciary Committee for its consideration. As Ms. Burkhalters letter indicates.
