BILL HISTORY
In the last 10 years in El Salvador over 70,000 Salvadorans have been killed by the
military. In 1979 a group of campesinos, students, and workers formed the
Farabundo Marti National Leiberation Front in response to the increased
governmental repression fo the late 1970's.

Jaime Suriano was a medical student at the University of El Salvador in the early
19~0's. It was at this time that he helped co-found the Popular Medical Clinics.
Soon after all the founders, except Suriano, were killed by Salvadoran death squads.
Suriano then went into hiding and came to the U.S. where he became the FMLN
United Nations delegate, and the offical representative of the FMLN in New York
City and Las Angeles. Since Oct. 1988 he's also served as the official U.S.
representative of the radio station, Faranbundo Marti.
