The Committee's reducitio, of $65 million from the $90

impossible for the Salvadoran economy to obtain the minimum level

-- Similarly, the Comsitltee's reduction of $52.5 mil
from the $72.5 ^i l l ion FY-84~ su lemental S.4t r 1 i on
will cripple Hondura's effo It to arrest the economic decline uasfd
to make.-a downpayment on the major long-term task of eronaaic
development. - It would also; directly undercut Hondura's recently
adopted austere economic stabilit tion program.

elimination of

overcome its very serious fie 1

The elimination of the; entire $28 million requested for
the regional ESF program will pr4vent us from providis9 assistance
to the -Central American Common i Market and therefore delay the
process of reestablishing intra-regional trade flows.
=-MILITARY kSSI-STANCE
The 65% cut in the request for military assistance to

government.
-- It is the kind of ae ioo which the NDCCA de w when

Salvador is to .provide just enough aid to keep the war going b t
p
too--little to wage it successfully.

-- It is most ironic that Ithes? cuts are put forwacd at a
time when El--Salvador just completed two rounds of ices eLsct%^Vs

-- The Coaaittei's action, if permitted to stand, will
undercut --the Duarte Administration's pledges to proceed with a
vigorous program for further progress in democratization, human
rights-and economic development and national reconciliation.
