(2) On July 22 and July 23, 1998, Salvadoran
authorities granted three of the National Guardsmen
convicted of the crimes early release from prison.
(3) The United Nations Truth Commission for
El Salvador determined in 1993 that there was suf-
ficient evidence that the Guardsmen were acting on
orders from their superiors.
(4) In March 1998, four of the convicted
Guardsmen confessed that they acted after receiving
orders from their superiors.
(5) Recently declassified documents from the
State Department show that United States Govern-
ment officials were aware of information suggesting
the involvement of superior officers in the murders.
(6) United States officials granted permanent
residence to a former Salvadoran military official in-
volved in the cover-up of the murders, enabling him
to remain in Florida.
(7) Despite the fact that the murders occurred
over 17 years ago, the families of the four victims
continue to seek the disclosure of information rel-
evant to the murders.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of
the Congress that—
113
HR 2606 RDS
(1) information relevant to the murders should
be made public to the fullest extent possible;
(2) the Secretary of State and the Department
of State are to be commended for fully releasing in-
formation regarding the murders to the victims’
families and to the American public, in prompt re-
sponse to congressional requests;
(3) the President should order all other Federal
agencies and departments that possess relevant in-
formation to make every effort to declassify and re-
lease to the victims’ families relevant information as
expeditiously as possible;
(4) in making determinations concerning the
declassification and release of relevant information,
the Federal agencies and departments should pre-
sume in favor of releasing, rather than of with-
holding, such information; and
(5) the President should direct the Attorney
General to review the circumstances under which in-
dividuals involved in either the murders or the cover-
up of the murders obtained residence in the United
States, and the Attorney General should submit a
report to the Congress on the results of such review
not later than January 1, 2000.
