Congressman inward P. Boland, (D. Mass.), Chairman of the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence, today released the following statement
following a Committee briefing concerning El Salvador. Participating in the
briefing were all elements of the intelligence community, led by DCI William
J. Casey. The text of the statement follows:
"The Committee has received a briefing concerning the situation in El
Salvador, with particular emphasis on the question of foreign support for
the insurgency. The insurgents are well trained, well equipped with
modern weapons and supplies, and rely on the use of sites in Nicaragua for
command and control and for logistical support. The intelligence
supporting these judgments provided to the Committee is convincing.
"There is further persuasive evidence that the Sandinista government
of Nicaragua is helping train insurgents and is transferring arms and
financial support from and through Nicaragua to the insurgents. They are
further providing the insurgents bases of operation in Nicaragua. Cuban
involvement - especially in providing arms - is also evident.
"What this says is that, contrary to the repeated denials of
Nicaraguan officials, that country is thoroughly involved in supporting
the Salvadoran insurgency. That support is such as to greatly aid the
insurgents in their struggle with government forces in El Salvador."
