Instead they want to give it away. The truth is that neither side has fully complied with our law. But the answer is not to jettison the law. Mr. President. let us not forget the effects of our policy of quadrupling the size of the Salvadoran military and turning a blind eye to corruption and atrocity after atrocity. Over 70.000 dead. Another 7.500 disappeared and presumed dead. A million and a half refugees. most now living in squalor in the United States. Another half a million Salvadorans displaced within their own country and living hand to mouth. We can learn from this lesson.
