Mr. Speaker. I rise to express my strong support for House Concurrent Resolution 258. congratulating Honduran President. Rafael Callejas on his election. President Callejas has a tall order before him. In addition to regional disputes. the new President must confront myriad domestic problems including a stalled economy burdened with unemployment nearing 30 percent. rising inflation and international loan obligations. President Callejas also must determine how to meet the problems of 500.000 war refugees. Mr. Speaker. this important resolution expresses the close relationship the Hondurans and the United States have shared for many years. I commend the distinguished ranking minority member on the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs.
