They did not like what they saw. So it is my observation that we are going to continue to see discontent among those thousands and thousands of Indians who have moved across into Honduras from Nicaragua and that the autonomy program is unlikely to work though it is something from a human rights standpoint we are all interested in seeing and at least pleased that the Government of Nicaragua now recognizes that it committed atrocious grievances against those Indians and is at least in part willing to change some of its activities with respect to them. While in the two countries of Honduras and El Salvador. we observed the refugee camps in Honduras. Those are refugee camps that are both Nicaraguan nonIndian refugee camps as well as those with the Miskitos and Salvadorans who would come across the border. For those who are not familiar with the geography. the Central American region is very close to ours. When I left Miami and flew down to Managua. though we had a stopover in San Salvador. if I had flown directly the flight would have been probably about 2 hours.
