Chairman. this bill is not aimed to meet the needs of Salvadorans and Nicaraguans. Rather it is meant to meet our responsibilities. not only to them. but to ourselves. and everything that is best in our tradition. The bill makes no political statement. To a child pulled out of an American grade school. and deported to his homeland. only to have his leg blown off by a land mine. it is of small difference whose land mine it is. It may have been planted by a Sandanista or a Contra in Nicaragua. It may be the work of the Salvadoran militia or the rebels they fight.
