Title: EL SALVADOR: U.S. SENATE APPROVES MILITARY AID TO EL SALVADOR

washington, apr 1 (ips) -- the u.s. senate wednesday approved an
85-million-dollar military aid package for el salvador which will
be mostly invested in the peace fund for demobilized military
personnel.

the salvadorean government and the farabundo marti national
liberation front (fmln) guerrillas signed a peace treaty jan. 16
ending a 12-year civil war which had claimed more than 80,000
lives. on feb. 1, a ceasefire went into effect.

the military aid package excludes supply of lethal equipment.  of
the 85 million dollars appropriated, 21.25 million will be given
to the salvadorean armed forces, but the money cannot be used to
buy lethal equipment.

the remaining 63.75 million will be invested in a fund for
demobilized military personnel.

the proposal to provide military aid to el salvador was contained
in a draft bill which had also included a 350-million-dollar
allocation for the u.n. peace keeping forces.

intensive debate had preceded the senate's approval of the
salvadorean military aid package.

on friday, 41 senators had sent a letter to secretary of state
james baker criticising him for insisting on providing military
aid to the central american country. (ends/ips/tr/ip/mas/er/it)

                        FREEDOM DAY 1992

     Dr. King's birthday was, once again, the occasion for ADAPT 
actions across the nation to free our people.  In Denver 40 ADAPT 
activists occupied the offices of the state board of nursing.  
Their beef was the Colorado version of the medical tasks 
delegation problem. In short, a state law allows only licensed 
nurses to be paid to perform certain tasks, deemed medical, which 
involve catheters, ventilators and feeding tubes among other 
things.  Nurses providing such care are paid about $56 per visit 
, but the same tasks could be done by attendants for only about 
$8 per visit.  (Similar laws and policies affect all the states 
in our nation.)  The director of the state department of 
regulatory agencies met with protestors to discuss new 
legislation.

     In Austin ADAPT targeted ARA Living, the biggest privately 
owned nursing home corporation in the US, and one which has been 
sighted here in Texas for deaths and other serious violations.  
Protestors were met by 60 cops, almost two to one.  Somewhat 
reminiscent of Alice's restaurant there were cops on bikes, on 
motorcycles, on foot, and in patrol cars; the only types missing 
it seemed were helicopters and horses. ADAPT held a press 
conference in front but were barred from the building by a wall 
of boys in blue.  Finally an ARA representative came downstairs 
to receive ADAPT's demands and give us the same old tired lines 
about how ARA supports community services.

     The capitols in New Mexico and Georgia were the sites for 
more protests by ADAPT groups.  In Santa Fe scores of folks with 
disabilities filled the New Mexico State Capitol demanding more 
funds for attendant services and less emphasis on nursing homes .  
"You make it by hook or by crook or you get locked up in a 
nursing home" protestor Linda Pedro told the Albuquerque Journal.  
"It's an ever impending reality for the disabled unless you're 
independently wealthy."  In Atlanta ADAPT leafletted the capitol, 
visited legislators and picketed outside with "honk if you 
support attendant services" signs aimed at passing cars.

     In New York City Disabled in Action of New York City met 
with their regional Health and Human Services Executive Assistant 
for Intergovernmental Affairs to discuss attendant services, and 
from that another meeting with the Regional Director was 
scheduled.  In Massachusetts, CORD also met with their Regional 
HHS Director, Sue Davenport, and after "a lengthy and interesting 
discussion" (as Davenport put it) she wrote Dr. Sullivan to 
convey the issues and urge him to do what he could.

it's more like robbing Charles Manson to pay Paul"  - Danny Saenz

       "Why doesn't he get a group of people and have an event?"
       (THe Burlington Free Press, 3/30/92)
       You can just bet that if Jerry Brown was being excluded, he wouldn't
be hollering for "separate but equal" candidate forums.  He's the biggest
hypocrite of any candidate in any party this year.

"I remember the one who was executed, Lim Seng, and I hoped by his
death there [would] be less narcotic addiction in our country, but
today we have more. There is now a Narcotic Command, the whole Command
to deal with narcotics addiction. So therefore the life of that man
that was snuffed out to discourage drug addiction has been lost in
vain..." --Teodulo Natividad, author of the 1972 Dangerous Drugs Act,

End of Draft Registration?
Legislation Filed to Cut Selective Service

February 3, 1992--Every year, $27 Million is spent on the Selective Service 
System to establish a list of people who could be drafted in a couple of weeks 
notice in the event of a war against the Soviet Union.  The Soviet Union 
doesn't exist any more.  But the Selective Service System remains.
	"The office of 277 employess has been on STAND-BY since 1973," said 
Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA), who has drafted legislation to end this 
nonsense.  Said Stark, "We're pouring millions of dollars and names into 
this data base that's like a 'black hole.'"

/* ---------- "GulfWatch Papers - Now Published" ---------- */

The GulfWatch Papers, an edited summary of GulfWatch, which was basically
a daily summary of these conferences during the war, is now published - at
last. It sets GulfWatch in the context of a commentary on the role of
the international peace movement, and has been described by PeaceNet's
Howard Frederick as one of the best such reports he has seen.

The Papers comprise the cover feature of the current edition of The
Edinburgh Review, and run to some 70 pages in an edition which also 
carries other resonances of the war. It is availabe at 5.95 pounds including
surface postage worldwide by visa/mastercard (give date of exp., name
and number) from Edinburgh Review, 22 George Square, University of Edinburhg
Edinburgh EH8 9LF. Fax +44 31 662 0053. Mark for attention of the editor,
Murdo MacDonald.

These papers constitute a testimony, pubished by Polygon of Edinburgh 
University Press, to the work of those using this network and the
value of electronic networking in peace.

        Hola, me llamo Gilberto and I am the co-chair of La Causa (the Latino
 student group of Amherst College). I am writing this letter because I am 
 interested in trying to set up some kind of communication among Latinos at
 different colleges and universities. I have managed to convince the people
 in the computer center to give us two e-mail addresses which we can use in
 order to communicate with Latinos nationwide. Such a list can be used for a 
 variety of purposes including: 
 
   1) Inform one another about conferences and events happening
      on other campuses.
 
   2) Share information about how to effectively organize as students.
 
   3) Find more effective ways of recruiting and holding onto Latino students
      and faculty.
 
   4) Talk about ways to change the curriculum so that it starts to deal with
      concerns specific to Latinos in the U.S. (e.g. Hispanic-American Studies 
      programs)
 
   5) Get access to news about Latino students that probably is not availiable 
      through the 'mainstream' student magazines about campus life.
 
   6) Meet people who have a similar background and interest. (e.g. Afro-Latin
      studies is an area where it is not easy to get lots of information through
      the library and a mailing list might make it easier for people to get the
      names of books or references which others have found useful)
 
        I am sure that there are other things that a Latino mailing list could
 be used for and it would really be up to its members to decide what direction
 it should take. 
 
        If you are interested and want to subscribe, or have any comments that
 you want to send specifically to the person taking care of the list (that's me)
 then send a message to:
 
               latino-l-request@amherst.edu
 
  If you want to use the list and distribute a message, article, announcement,
  poem or whatever to all of the people participating in the list then send a
  message to: 
 
              latino-l@amherst.edu
 
 
 
 and also: if you know of anybody who might want to participate in the list 
           please forward this letter to them so that word of this can get out.
 
    gracias
