...Thursday, two Republicans, Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon and Congressman Jim Leach of Iowa, introduced a bill to cut off all military aid and withdraw U.S. advisers unless the Salvadoran government launched "good faith" negotiations with the guerrillas. The Reagan Administration insists the rebels must lay down their arms before any such talks can begin, a stipulation the rebels have refused to accept.

Accordingly, some legislators will insist that approval of the IMF measure be accompanied by legislation imposing new discipline on the banks. Among the provisions of a bill expected to be introduced this week are measures to limit the amount a bank can lend to any one country and to force banks to reserve more money for loan losses when foreign loans begin to sour...
