DI-1240A Rosenthal et al. Dear Colleague letter 1

This excerpt is an excerpt from the Wednesday, July 28, 1982, issue of the Congressional Record. It includes Congressman John Joseph Moakley's statement before the House of Representatives on the topic of President Ronald Reagan's certification of El Salvador's progress in rectifying its approach to human rights violations and in improving political, economic, and social conditions. Moakley expresses his intention to continue supporting legislation to end U.S. military aid to El Salvador. With his remarks, he includes an Amnesty International report on Civil war--El Salvador
El Salvador--Politics and government--1979-1992
El Salvador--Relations--United States
Military assistance, American--El Salvador

This document is a "Dear Colleague" letter written by the the original congressional sponsors of H. J. Res. 426, a joint resolution to end U.S. military aid to El Salvador. The sponsors ask their Congressional colleagues to join them in supporting the legislation. In the Moakley Papers, this letter is clipped to a second later (DI-1240B) dated several days later. For the list of 25 additional co-sponsors that the letter mentions, see DI-1240B; the list is attached to the second letter in the Moakley Papers, but likely accompanied both letters.
