BILL HISTORY
A civil war has raged in El Salvador since 1979 with a cost of over 60,000 civilian
lives. A repressive government supported by the U.S. has been directed by the rich
and military while the people continue to suffer.

The University of El Salvador has been the object of much of the government
repression. On December 24th, 1988, the University Biology building was destroyed
by 3 bombs, which killed a University custodian. The day after the bombing, the
University was surrounded by troops from the 1st Infantry Brigade. The military
are searching cars as well as professors and students as they enter and leave the
Universi.t y. This is the most current example of the repression, it proceeds
countless past examples of harrassment and suspension of rights by the military
government of El Salvador.
AGEUS (General -Association of Salvadoran Students and FERS (The Salvadoran
Student Revolutionary Front) were both formed by students to try to end the
repression toward the University. Both groups are working for University
autonomy and having full control of the University budget. They are working for
basic necessities of the University books, supplies, furniture, etc ••• The student
groups are also trying to have outreach with the community. They are involved in
tutoring in poor neighborhoods, starting literacy campaigns in the country side, and
setting up free health clinics.
Salomon Estrada and Rene Hernandez are representatives of FERS and AGEUS,
respectively. They are on tour in the U.S. to inform the U.S. public and the
University community of the crisis in El Salvador, in general, and of Salvadoran
students, specifically.
BILL SUMMARY
This bill would provide funding of $871.30 + GAR from Central Reserve for
Salomon Estrada and Rene Hernandez to visit CU and speak; March 5th, 7-9pm,
in Duane Physics Q020.
