Chairman. we are firmly convinced that the official United States interpretation that Salvadorans and Nicaraguans are in the United States because of economic reasons is wrong. We believe that to send these people back to countries that are torn with internal strife and where their security is threatened daily is wrong. We believe that our Governments refusal to avail itself of remedies that are at hand that would give immediate relief from the threat of deportation to these people is wrong. I am convinced that the administration could. if it so desired. right these wrongs. It could grant extended voluntary departure status to Salvadorans and Nicaraguans as has been done for 15 different nationalities over the last 25 years.
