Again and again they have asked me why dont people in Washington recognize what it was like in El Salvador before the Contras existed. Arms and men were flooding over the border to overthrow and seize their government. Since the advent of the Contras. this flood was reduced to a trickle and the democratically elected governments of the area were given a chance to exist and flourish. This moratorium will show them a lack of will on our part and the stream of refugees from that area into this country will grow into a flood because the people will have lost hope in their ability to maintain their democratically elected government.
