HAMDT 738 (98th)

MR. BROOMFIELD offered an amendment to increase the bill's authorization for military and economic aid to Central America to the level requested by the President. It makes military aid to El Salvador conditioned upon the President determining that the Salvadoran government has made progress in meeting six on the seven objectives specified in the bill, and removes almost all the bill's restrictions on economic aid to that country. It eliminates the bill's 55-man limit on U.S. advisors in El Salvador and the 300-man limit on U.S. military personnel in Honduras.
