START RELIEF WITH AMNESTY

For the thousands of Central American, Haitian and other
Caribbean immigrants left homeless by Hurricane Andrew, the
response of the U.S. government has been both heartless and
intimidating. For starters, there has been no attempt to provide
the undocumented with adequate bilingual interpreters. Many have
little idea of what relief, meager as it may be, is available.

What is most visible to them, however, is a large presence of
U.S. Border Patrol agents, local police and the U.S. Army.
Helicopter overflights are an almost daily occurrence. Jack
Leonard, who works with a community in south Florida of 1,200
Maya Indians from Guatemala, said, "The helicopters scare the
hell out of the people, who associate them with strafing. And
nobody will go to the tent cities because of the Army there. The
army in Guatemala razed their homes and moved them into camps."
(Sept. 5 Associated Press)

That the U.S. has backed the murderous Guatemalan military is
undoubtedly also on the minds of Guatemalan immigrants.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service has stated that all
the Army and patrols want to do is provide food and water to
those in need, including undocumented workers. U.S. Attorney
General William Barr has said that any immigrants "would not be
detained."

But if the U.S. government were really serious about that claim,
they could start with a very simple and clear declaration: It is
hereby now illegal to arrest, harass or deport any undocumented
worker. Furthermore, there is now full amnesty and full rights
for all immigrant workers, papers or not.

To show their good faith, the U.S. should then remove all border
agents from Florida and replace them with thousands of
multi-lingual community organizers to get the immigrant workers
back on their feet.

From WORLD PERSPECTIVES. Box 3074, Madison, WI 53704


PHILIPPINES
 The Philippines government has freed a top Marxist leader and took
the first step toward legalizing the banned Communist party.

Osako Ocampo(?), 53, finished three years in jail as the Senate
approved a bill repealing a decades-old anti-subversion law which
outlaws the Communist Party for advocating armed struggle.

After a similar bill is approved by the House of Representatives,
President Ramos will sign it into law, legalizing the party.

These developments coincide with policy talks between the
Philippines government and the communists in the Dutch capital, the
Hague. Chief negotiator for the rebel's National Democratic Front
said there were good chances for full peace negotiations to take
place.

The front is an umbrella groups of rebel militias, which have waged
a 23-year campaign. (R. Australia 9/1)

     Austin, Texas, U S A - ADAPT protestors picketed the 
Austin Hilton Hotel, 6000 Middle Fiskville Road, site of 
the Austin local segments of the Jerry Lewis Muscular 
Dystrophy Telethon, from about noon to 3 p m, this 
American Labor Day, September 7, 1992.
     We did some chanting and we had some posters and 
flyers.  "Jerry's Not Our Father - We're Not Kids!" was 
one of the chants.  Reporters from two local television 
stations and from the daily newspaper stopped by and 
interviewed us.
    To my knowledge, protests of the Jerry Lewis Telethon 
were scheduled for some 30 cities across America.  
Austin's protest was a rather mild exercise of 
Constitutional rights.  We await reports from other 
cities.

***<NICARAGUANS TALKING: CASE STUDY MATERIALS FOR SECONDARY  
SCHOOLS.> Duncan Green. Latin America Bureau, 1 Amwell St.,  
London EC1R 1UL, England. 1989. 133 pp. L4.95/$12. ISBN 0- 
906156-50-5. Photographs, graphs, charts, illustrations,  
list of resources, maps. 

Latin America Bureau has done educators a great service by  
publishing this workbook by Duncan Green that uses  
interviews, photographs, cartoons, and statistics to give  
14-16 year-old students a look at Nicaragua through the eyes  
of its inhabitants. 

Teachers can "dip into" nine self-contained sections to  
stimulate discussion of topics such as measuring  
development, North-South trade links, land reform, life  
under Somoza, the Sandinista revolution, and the history of  
U.S.-Nicaraguan relations. The book is ideal for geography  
and history classes. 

Although the workbook has some specific references to  
Britain, its many diverse learning activities will have a  
universal appeal. Teacher's aids within each section and  
word-boxes highlight and define new vocabulary. Materials in  
the spiral-bound workbook are free of copyright and thus can  
be photocopied  for classroom use. 

<Nicaraguans Talking> is entertaining as well as  
educational. The use of direct quotations encourages  
students to search for the truth by taking the side of a  
Nicaraguan peasant or an American general. A superb  
workbook!

Since the Red Cross relief information was posted here, a relief
effort specific to the Miccosukee Tribe which our nativenet
members may be interested in helping through is as follows:

Miccosukee Tribe Relief Fund, account number 1596112418. Mail
to Miccosukee Tribe Relief Fund, Barnett Bank, 13750 SW 8 Street,
Miami FL 33184.

Electric power to the reservation may not be restored for many weeks.
The U.S. military has provided two 30 KWh diesel generators for the
duration, one of the few times that the tribe has ever accepted
outside help. As you may know, the Miccosukee tribe was never
defeated by the U.S. military after withdrawing to the Everglades
after the "Trail of Tears" atrocities, and has remained fiercely
independent. But with the unprecedented devastation of the storm,
they have been unable to cope alone. During the hurricane, the tribal
government buildings were opened to non-natives as a designated
hurricane shelter.

The Miccosukee reservation is 20 miles west of Miami, along Tamiami
Trail between Miami and Fort Myers in the Everglades.

Thanks for all your good wishes. Our own situation is far better
than that of many, and we urge those so moved to assist those
needy others who have not fared as well.

##################################################################

     Since last 24 August, the FMLN's radio is in danger of being
silenced for a long time; its 1500 watts transmitter, exhausted
after 11 years of civil war, stopped broadcasting. Now Radio
"Venceremos" can only cover the area of San Salvador, the capital
city; but the situation can become even worse.
     The FMLN's radios are vital part of the popular political and
ideological struggle; they have to compete with a sophisticated
commercial network and the government's millionaire propaganda
machine.
     For more than 12 years, Radio "Venceremos" survived all the US
and Military Dictatorship's attempts to destroy it; tens of FMLN
fighters gave generously their lives to defend it.

[Greenpeace Press Release from Environet -- Redistribute Freely]

     GREENPEACE NAMES NAMES IN SOMALIA TOXIC WASTE SCANDAL

ROME September 9, 1992 (GP) Greenpeace revealed today that the
Italian company PROGRESSO s.r.l. is the waste trader behind the
illegal trafficking of toxic waste to Somalia.

Greenpeace said the agreement for the scandalous deal was signed
in Rome, on 5 December 1991, and authorizes the Swiss company
ACHAIR and PARTNERS to annually export 500,000 tonnes of hospital
and industrial waste from Italy to Somalia over the next twenty
years. The waste is to go to a 10 million ton disposal site.

UNEP director Dr Mustafa Tolba this week publicised the deal, but
was told the media that he was afraid to reveal any details of
the company involved, describing the parties involved as "mafia".

One of the founding members of ACHAIR, Pierre Andre RANDIN, has
already been prosecuted for illegal trade in information
technology to Eastern Europe between 1981 and 1982. Last spring
he co-founded, together with Marcello GIANNONI, a company called
"MANAWASTE", for waste exports to the Third World. GIANNONI now
is a director of PROGRESSO.

"This Somalian toxic waste export scandal underlines the failure
of the 1989 Basel Convention to control waste trade, and the
urgent need for a total ban on hazardous waste exports to
developing and Eastern European countries" commented Greenpeace
Italy's Roberto Ferrigno.

The case also shows how Italian companies circumvent the
prohibition of hazardous waste exports from EC Member states to
Somalia, as provided in the LOME IV Convention between the
European Community and a group of 69 developing countries amongst
which Somalia.

Dr Tolba publicised the agreement this week after the Basel
Convention Secretariat was notified of it. Under the terms of the
Basel Convention it is perfectly legal to export hazardous waste
from Switzerland to Somalia as long as both governments agree to
do so.

"We absolutely have to get to a total ban of all waste exports
from all industrialized countries to the Third World and Eastern
Europe" Ferrigno concluded.
