 Y, a la vez, el pueblo salvadoreño está siendo utilizado para distraer la atención internacional mientras se consolida el gobierno dictatorial totalitario marcista de Nicaragua. Puedo explicar algunos detalles de esto a usted. Puedo observar unos documentos que fueron escritos por el Partido Comunista Salvadoreño. Estos documentos aquí fueron escritos por el Partido Salador y el Partido Comunista. Donde se hace ver que Le Duane, en 1980, secretario general del Partido Comunista, Bienda Mita, promete a Jorge Estapichanda, miembro del Partido Comunista Salvadoreño, enviarle más de mil fusiles M16. Aquí podemos ver los resultados de una reunión en 1980 entre Jorge Estapichanda, miembro del Partido El Salvador y el Partido Comunista, y Mr. Le Duane, que es el vice-ministro de Vietnam. Aquí, en estos documentos, se promete que 1,000 rifles estarán enviados a El Salvador. Acá tenemos el itinerario como los fusiles M16 llegaron de Estados Unidos a Vietnam y luego estos como son enviados ya en 1980, a la final destinación de El Salvador, primero a Cuba, Nicaragua y Honduras. Acá tenemos un fusil M16, que son de los que más hemos usado en el país. Aquí tenemos un M16 rifle, este es el uno que es más común usado en nuestro país, un sitio que fue manufacturado en Vietnam. Esta mira es para el mortero 82. Este sitio es para un mortero 82, que ha sido adaptado para el mortero 81. Y ha sido adaptado para uso en el mortero 81. También tenemos unos supply médicos, un toque de guac. Esto es el tipo que hemos usado más frecuentemente. Aquí tenemos un vehículo que fue estupido en Honduras en 1985, después de un accidente. Pero estos son los vehículos que nosotros usábamos para hacer el transporte de armas. Pero estos son los vehículos que usamos para la convención de armas. Y puedes ver las escuelas secretas que fueron adaptadas a estos vehículos. Un M79, un launcher de grenade, un M16 rifle. Los documentos, las informaciones importantes de Nidia Dias, donde encontramos información importante. Un minero de fabricación en Checobruaca que fue manufacturado en Checobruaca. Estos minos han sido plantados por un corridor entre Nicaragua y Honduras. Aquí hay un libro de codos que contiene nombres de codos para diferentes sitios en Honduras. Here we have another RPG-2 rocket launcher. A code notebook. Grenades, which are the ones that we have used most commonly in combat. Thank you, Mr. Romero. Para llevar a cabo este 13 movement and... ...an over knee. There was a few that cooperated, they were working for 15 years down the road. You know that delay, it couldn't be nowhere else. Introduce the President of the United States. Thank you very much. High President Bush, Secretary Schultz, Secretary Weinberger, Assistant Secretary Abrams, and you three gentlemen. Thank you for this eye-opening presentation. Thomas Jefferson understood that if the people know all the facts, the people will never make a mistake. Well, it's frustrating at times that information like what we have just heard today does not seem to be percolating through to the public. Even some well-intentioned elected officials seem to be operating under outrageously false assumptions. These captured weapons, the vivid description of subversive activity, and the portrayal of repression that was provided here, all of these are proof of Sandinista crimes against their neighbors and against the people of Nicaragua. These weapons and the testimony that we've seen and heard demonstrate the magnitude of a sophisticated communist effort to undermine democracy in this hemisphere and to deceive us in the process. These rifles, landmines, grenade launchers, and other weapons did not just miraculously appear in the hands of communists in El Salvador or the M-19 terrorists in Colombia. They were placed in the hands of those who would eliminate liberty, wreck economic havoc, and destroy democracy by forces opposed to our very way of life. The regime which has built, and I was going to say nine, but now I've been corrected, it is ten new prisons in Nicaragua and runs drugs to poison our children is backed by an extraordinary support network of international communists. One doesn't need to be of a particular party or even privy to secret information to see what's happening in Central America. It's clear, Nicaraguan communists are using their country as a staging area for aggression against their neighbors while totally subjugating their own people. Their campaign of internal repression and external aggression is being aided and abetted by the Soviet Union, Cuba, East Germany, Bulgaria, Iran, Vietnam, Libya, and other radical states, movements and organizations. The fledgling democracies of Central America cannot be expected to stand alone against this kind of concerted international communist effort. And let's make no mistake, this nation too is threatened. If we do not act now to counter this subversive aggression by helping the brave men and women of the Nicaraguan democratic resistance, Americans will in the not too distant future look to the south and see a string of anti-american communist dictatorships. And if that happens, it'll do no good to ask who's to blame. It will be an irreparable disaster. And that's why I'm asking the Congress to set aside partisan politics and act now to protect our national security by helping those who want a democratic outcome in Nicaragua. America needs to hear the testimony of individuals like the ones we have with us today, men who were on the inside, on the other side. Senor Romero was a former rebel commandante in El Salvador. He offers first hand knowledge of the vicious crime the communist regime in Managua is perpetrating on the people of El Salvador. Alvaro Baldizán, a former member of Nicaragua State Security Forces, was sickened and disillusioned by the brutality, repression, and the shroud of lies in which the communists draped themselves. And Senor Archibald, who was tortured and jailed, these three are only a few of the many who deserve to be heard by decision makers. I would hope that all members of Congress who have not had a chance to hear their message or have not seen this display will take the time to do so. The display will be on Capitol Hill next week. What we heard from these brave men also confirms that the communists have surrounded their aggression and internal repression with a well managed campaign of lies, distortion, and just as we've been told here, disinformation. The masters of deceit have outdone themselves, but Americans can and will see through this smokescreen. The communist goal is to paralyze us, to prevent us from doing what is necessary to save Central America. But they will not succeed. Ultimately, in a free society, the truth will be heard. And today I think we've got before us some facts that the American people need very much to hear. And I hope that all of you will make it a point to spread the word. The stakes are too high to set this one out. Thank you and God bless you.
