El Salvador. Passage of the bill on the floor today. H.R. 2760. could subject not just those directly involved. but also antiSandinista sympathizers to reprisals by the Nicaraguan army. initiate an influx of refugees into the United States. trigger a military clash between Honduras and Nicaragua and indicate a lack of resolve that would have grave repercussions not only in Central America. but to U.S. allies throughout the world. I am pleased that the Intelligence Committee will be providing the Members with a documented closeddoor briefing on activities in Central America so that the full House of Representatives can understand all the ramifications of pulling out our covert aid at this time. It is important that we repudiate this dangerous legislation and help our President resolve the serious problems in Central America.
