In early March of last year I received an invitation to meet with the leaders of the Salvadoran guerrillas in Managua, Nicaragua. I was told that they had already translated and discussed the testimony on Central America I had prepared for a congressional subcommittee the previous September and had found it "educational." Now they wanted a "broad exchange of views" and also to transmit a "message" to the State Department before the Salvadoran elections scheduled for March 28.
