Mr. Speaker. today. along with 10 colleagues. I am introducing legislation urging the President to establish specific improvements in the health. nutrition. and education levels of children. women. refugees and others most in need in the poorest countries of Central America. The resolution would direct the President to make this a fundamental goal of U.S. policy. Our intention is to make these proposals major building blocks of our Central American policy in this Congress. Extreme poverty remains the lot of too many men. women. and children living in Central America. and the Caribbean. The mortality rates of children under age 5 and mothers remain unacceptably high in countries such as El Salvador.
