I think. is Justified that if there were indeed threats to those who return. abnormally so to the population. there would be many more who would come to ICM for replacement or to seek placement in another country. I think. from all the studies that have been done and to follow through on the paper work. the question comes in this fact alone. that we can take comfort that those who go back face difficulties in the economy. but they will not face physical harm or justifiable fears of persecution. I have reported now on the refugee matters. on the displaced persons matters. and on some humanitarian concerns in El Salvador and on those concerns we have with those who may be returning from the United States to El Salvador. These are the genuine humanitarian concerns that all of us live with. are concerned about. and that the Immigration and Refugee Subcommittee has a special concern for. I would like to turn my attention now for a few moments to the question that inevitably arises and concerns us all: The overriding concern in Central America. the question of communism versus democracy and the question of United States national security interests. It is a question that has been debated frequently on the floor of this House.
