 Well, I want to consult with you about the problem that faces in Central America for three years, and I include the last year of previous administration of the United States that's been trying to stop the advance of communism in Central America by dealing with Americans who invest instinctively and that is supporting democracy. And the reaffirmation of democracy in Costa Rica I think has been evident to all of us in the transition from military rule to the elected civilian government in Honduras and the launching of democracy in El Salvador with the success of elections on last March and it demonstrates today around the right course. So the good news is that the Marxist Revolution is inevitable in Central America. The bad news is that it cannot yet be ruled out. The military capability of the guerrillas let me stress the military capability. For we're not dealing with professing irregularities but with a train of military force. They kept the government from all political and economic projects all the way it could be made. I've sent the reason for this and the availability of training, tactical guidance and military supplies that are coming into El Salvador around the world. Tons of ammunition are being flown in from Nicaragua and on our side the continuing resolution we have has led to a liberal security assessment for El Salvador this year that's under the law last year and below what we've discussed for 1984. And this is just not enough in this critical moment of their battle for democracy. The Constitution is being written there president-elected. Potential elections are being prepared and the peace commissions just given a mandate to finding ways to bring as many Salvadorans as possible into the democratic process including many of those who are out there in the jungle fighting. We've been studying how we can help them help themselves. Economic reform needs time to work. Democracy must be nurtured. The problem today is that the military strategy of the pro-democratarians is proving devastating to our democratic friends. Military assistance is vital to give the democracy a chance. Yes, many of the people missing a card here I'm sure you know I'm not talking about that when I say military assistance about combat. Military assistance is not a complete solution. In fact, the early passage of trade and investment provisions of the Caribbean initiative is every bit as important. Our friends must know that we'll never abandon them and that we will pursue our colon effort to foster economic development and freedom. This means continuing to score all the possibilities and reconciliation for peace. And if we allow the government to transform itself into democracy maybe not as fast as we'd like but is reformed if we allow it to be knocked off by the guerrillas who don't have the people with them that was made evident during that election then no government on the Isthmus will be safe. We can't permit this. Half of our trade goes through the Caribbean. We depend on the security of the canal. We cannot accommodate thousands, yes, millions of people who would flee this integrating sector now. Us as the target for them. We must win the elections. We've been exploring ways to help what is needed there. And I'll sell the door to most of you. I've asked George and other senior officials to consult with you over this week ways that we can work together. I hope they can meet again next week and set a common course right now before trying to George to make sure you get her what's going on. I'd like to call for a few words on Jean Griffith because she'll just return.
