Mr. Chairman. I rise today in strong support of H.R. 618. to require a temporary stay in the detention and deportation of refugees from El Salvador and to commission a comprehensive General Accounting Office study of the Salvadoran and Nicaraguan refugee issue. I share the sentiments of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel. who remarked in a letter to Mr. MOAKLEY. "until ambiguities about current law and the situation faced by returnees in El Salvador and Nicaragua are clarified. we have a human and moral obligation to provide refuge to these displaced men. women. and children." Mr. Chairman. the Reagan administration has established a reputation for utilizing double standards in the exercise of its foreign policies.
