Chairman. my amendment strikes the provision in the bill that grants extended voluntary departure to El Salvadorans and Nicaraguans in the United States who have arrived as late as midsummer of this year. This legislation raises two central issues. First. it calls for a GAO report. which I do not believe we need. to supplement information on conditions of Salvadorans in El Salvador. Second. the question is. Should we suspend deportation of Salvadorans while we wait a 2year period for that GAO report to be completed? My answer on both these questions is "no" for the following reasons: Mr. Chairman. we have had this bill before us for years.
