UN General Assembly
1986

We believe that one should not speak before thinking and that what one promises one should do. President Duarte and his Government are carrying out their promises; our Government knows how to govern. Hence we are sure that, after a long dark night of hatred and rancor, soon the dawn will break and all Salvadorians will proudly join in singing these lines of our national anthem that remind us that "Peace in supreme happiness has always been El Salvador's noble dream; its achievement our constant goal; its preservation our greatest glory."
