I believe that the conferees have erred by adopting the House provision including criminal sanctions. I am also very concerned that the conferees were unable to work out any agreement providing some kind of protection for Salvadorans who have fled their country and have come to the United States for safety and protection. I have been working for 5 years to persuade or require the administration to stop the deportations of Salvadorans back to that violent and strifetorn country. I have not engaged in this effort in order to criticize President Reagans policies in El Salvador. I have supported the President policies and have been pleased at the progress that President Duarte has been able to achieve.
