D'Aubuisson talks of providing new investment incentives for business in the war-battered Salvadoran economy, and wins approval from thousands of small businessmen and farmers who have suffered grievously from the guerrilla strategy of attacking the country's economic infrastructure...

Stopping government officials from travelling to the United States was practically unknown Now, in the question of Salvadoran Roberto d' Aubuisson, as I understand from the newspapers. Vice President Bush met with d' Aubuisson You can see the State Department's hand as it tries to gain some control over foreign policy. In Bush's meeting with him we see the reasserting of the hard line of the Reagan Administration--the line...
