PRESIDENT BUSH SUGGESTING THAT THE TIME WAS RIGHT FOR A

USG REPRESENTATIVE TO MEET WITH THE FMLN DURING THE
CURRENT ROUND OF GOES-FMLN TALKS. CRISTIANI TOLD THE
AMBASSADOR THAT HAVING A SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL
REASSURE THE FMLN, IN A FACE TO FACE MEETING OF USG
SUPPORT FOR A GOES-FMLN PEACE AGREEMENT AND USG COMMITMENT
TO MONITOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE ENSUING ACCORDS, COULD HELP

ALSO EXPRESSED HIS HOPE THAT AMBASSADOR WALKER WOULD

THE PARTIES, OTHER PLAYERS) COULD LATER RECEIVE AN
AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNT OF THE SESSION FROM AN AMERICAN
PARTICIPANT SHOULD THE NEED TO REASSURE ANY SECTOR ARISE.

SAN SALVADOR, APRIL 18, 1991
MR. PRESIDENT:
E
I AM WRITING YOUR EXCELLENCY IN REFERENCE TO THE NOTE SENT
X
TO YOU BY THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, THE
D
CONTENTS OF WHICH YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO PASS ON TO ME
I
THROUGH YOUR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE FOR
S
INTERAMERICAN AFFAIRS, MR. BERNARD ARONSON.
CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, I WOULD AGAIN LIKE TO EXPRESS THE
GRATITUDE OF THE PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR FOR
YOUR CONTINUOUS SUPPORT FOR OUR EFFORTS TO FIND A
POLITICAL SOLUTION THAT WOULD END THE CONFLICT WHICH
E
BLEEDS AND DESTROYS US. WE RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE THAT
X
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS RESISTED CALLS TO
D
MEET WITH THE FMLN TO AVOID TAKING ANY STEP THAT COULD
I
PREJUDICE THE LEGITIMACY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR,
S
OR PROVIDE THE FMLN WITH JUSTIFICATION FOR ITS PRETENSIONS
TO BELLIGERENT STATUS.
AS YOU KNOW, THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONVERSATIONS HAVE
REACHED A CRITICAL PHASE AND CRUCIAL DECISIONS WILL HAVE
TO BE MADE SOON. AS WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE, WE ARE PREPARED
TO FULFILL AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS REACHED RESPONSIBLY AND
E
IN GOOD FAITH. THOSE AGREEMENTS WILL ALSO BE VERIFIED BY
X
THE UNITED NATIONS. NEVERTHELESS, WE BELIEVE THAT AT SOME
D
POINT IN THIS PROCESS YOUR EXPLICIT ENDORSEMENT OF THESE
I
AGREEMENTS COULD BE A VALUABLE ELEMENT IN CONVINCING THE
S
FMLN TO PUT AN END TO A SERIES OF PRETEXTS IT HAS BEEN
UTILIZING TO DELAY THE SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENTS.
-
FOR THAT REASON, THROUGH THIS LETTER WOULD LIKE TO
INVITE YOU, AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND UNDER THE PROPER
SECRET

CIRCUMSTANCES. TO SEND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO PARTICIPATE

UNITED NATIONS, AND THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR. IN

YOUR GOVERNMENT'S SUPPORT FOR THE PROCESS OF
DEMOCRATIZATION OCCURRING IN OUR COUNTRY, AND GUARANTEE
AND ENDORSE THE ACCORDS RESULTING FROM THE NEGOTIATIONS;
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH SIGNIFY THE END OF ALL ACTS OF

VIOLENCE BY AND THE EVENTUAL DEMOBILIZATION OF THE FMLN;
X
AS WELL AS THOSE THAT COMMIT THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR
D
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE HUMANE DEMOCRACY, IN WHICH
I
ALL SALVADORANS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THEIR
S
LIVES AND LIVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM.
THE FIRM POLICY OF YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE

USG-FMLN MEETING.
1. s- ENTIRE TEXT.
2. DURING A 4/18 MORNING MEETING WITH THE AMBASSADOR,
PRESIDENT CRISTIANI GAVE HIM A LETTER ADDRESSED TO
PRESIDENT BUSH SUGGESTING THAT THE TIME WAS RIGHT FOR A
USG REPRESENTATIVE TO MEET WITH THE FMLN DURING THE
CURRENT ROUND OF GOES-FMLN TALKS. CRISTIANI TOLD THE
AMBASSADOR THAT HAVING A SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL
REASSURE THE FMLN, IN A FACE TO FACE MEETING OF USG
SUPPORT FOR A GOES-FMLN PEACE AGREEMENT AND USG COMMITMENT
TO MONITOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE ENSUING ACCORDS, COULD HELP
FACILITATE AN ACCORD DURING THE CURRENT ROUND. CRISTIANI
ALSO EXPRESSED HIS HOPE THAT AMBASSADOR WALKER WOULD
PARTICIPATE IN THE USG-FMLN MEETING so THAT THE OTHER
POLITICAL FORCES IN EL SALVADOR (I.E. THE ARMED FORCES,
THE PARTIES, OTHER PLAYERS) COULD LATER RECEIVE AN
AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNT OF THE SESSION FROM AN AMERICAN
PARTICIPANT SHOULD THE NEED TO REASSURE ANY SECTOR ARISE.
3. IN VIEW OF THE DELICATE STATE OF THE TALKS, THE
PRESIDENT SUGGESTED THAT THE MEETING OCCUR SOON,
PREFERABLY SUNDAY OR MONDAY, BUT NO LATER THAN TUESDAY,
APRIL 23.

BELOW FOLLOWS THE EMBASSY'S INFORMAL TRANSLATION OF THE
TEXT OF THE LETTER. ORIGINAL WILL BE POUCHED TO ARA/CEN.
BEGIN INFORMAL TRANSLATION:
SAN SALVADOR, APRIL 18, 1991
MR. PRESIDENT:
I AM WRITING YOUR EXCELLENCY IN REFERENCE TO THE NOTE SENT
TO YOU BY THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS, THE
CONTENTS OF WHICH YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO PASS ON TO ME
THROUGH YOUR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE FOR
INTERAMERICAN AFFAIRS, MR. BERNARD ARONSON.
CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, I WOULD AGAIN LIKE TO EXPRESS THE
DECLASSIFIED
GRATITUDE OF THE PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR FOR
PER E.O. 12958
YOUR CONTINUOUS SUPPORT FOR OUR EFFORTS TO FIND A
99-0467-F12
POLITICAL SOLUTION THAT WOULD END THE CONFLICT WHICH
31 Aug 04 LT
BLEEDS AND DESTROYS US. WE RECOGNIZE AND APPRECIATE THAT
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS RESISTED CALLS TO
MEET WITH THE FMLN TO AVOID TAKING ANY STEP THAT COULD
PREJUDICE THE LEGITIMACY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR,
OR PROVIDE THE FMLN WITH JUSTIFICATION FOR ITS PRETENSIONS
TO BELLIGERENT STATUS.
AS YOU KNOW, THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONVERSATIONS HAVE
REACHED A CRITICAL PHASE AND CRUCIAL DECISIONS WILL HAVE
TO BE MADE SOON. AS WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE, WE ARE PREPARED
TO FULFILL AND EXECUTE AGREEMENTS REACHED RESPONSIBLY AND
IN GOOD FAITH. THOSE AGREEMENTS WILL ALSO BE VERIFIED BY
THE UNITED NATIONS. NEVERTHELESS, WE BELIEVE THAT AT SOME
POINT IN THIS PROCESS YOUR EXPLICIT ENDORSEMENT OF THESE
AGREEMENTS COULD BE A VALUABLE ELEMENT IN CONVINCING THE
FMLN TO PUT AN END TO A SERIES OF PRETEXTS IT HAS BEEN
UTILIZING TO DELAY THE SIGNING OF THE AGREEMENTS.
FOR THAT REASON, THROUGH THIS LETTER WOULD LIKE TO
INVITE YOU, AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME AND UNDER THE PROPER
CIRCUMSTANCES, TO SEND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO PARTICIPATE
IN A PRIVATE MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FMLN, THE
UNITED NATIONS, AND THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR. IN
THAT SESSION, YOUR REPRESENTATIVE WOULD BE ABLE TO STATE
YOUR GOVERNMENT'S SUPPORT FOR THE PROCESS OF
DEMOCRATIZATION OCCURRING IN OUR COUNTRY, AND GUARANTEE
AND ENDORSE THE ACCORDS RESULTING FROM THE NEGOTIATIONS;
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH SIGNIFY THE END OF ALL ACTS OF
VIOLENCE BY AND THE EVENTUAL DEMOBILIZATION OF THE FMLN;
AS WELL AS THOSE THAT COMMIT THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE HUMANE DEMOCRACY, IN WHICH
ALL SALVADORANS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THEIR
LIVES AND LIVE IN PEACE AND FREEDOM.
THE FIRM POLICY OF YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
EFFORTS WE ARE MAKING TO NEGOTIATE A JUST AND REALISTIC
AGREEMENT WHICH WILL PUT AN END TO THE CONFLICT WHILE

WASHINGTON
April 17, 1991
Dear Mr. Secretary General:
Thank you for your letter of March 25, 1991,
sharing your analysis of the prospects for a
successful negotiation to end the war in
El Salvador. I am very encouraged by your
statement that we are at the threshold of a major
breakthrough in the UN's efforts to mediate an end
to this longstanding conflict. I strongly share
your view that a concerted effort must be made to
achieve political agreements and a cease-fire by
the end of April.
The United States wholeheartedly and firmly
supports the political negotiations which the UN
under your auspices is mediating. I hope that you
will give this effort your personal attention and
engagement to ensure the maximum possible chance
for success. I am encouraged also by the efforts
of Mexico, Colombia, Spain and Venezuela to play
an active role, at your request, in support of a
negotiated settlement.
I am confident that President Cristiani will
continue to display the same good faith and
flexibility that his government has demonstrated
over the past year. President Cristiani is deeply
committed to this negotiation process and will
spare. no effort to see it succeed. I hope that
those with influence with the FMLN will urge them
to refrain from any further military actions and
to negotiate in good faith on the remaining
issues. The United States will do everything
possible to ensure the full implementation of any
agreements reached by the parties at the
bargaining table.
As to the issue you raised about direct contact by
the U.S. Government with the FMLN, as I have told
mid meek
you in the past, this is a difficult question for
the United States, particularly in light of the
heinous execution of two U.S. servicemen by FMLN
combatants in January. Nevertheless, I take
seriously your view that direct contacts are now
of critical importance to the success of the peace
effort. We will consult with President Cristiani
on this issue and assess his views. After this
consultation, my administration will weigh care-
fully whether and how a direct contact such as you
suggest might contribute to an early cease-fire
agreement.
In closing, let me reiterate my strong personal
appreciation for the role that you have played in
supporting these negotiations through many
difficult months. An end to the conflict in
El Salvador under UN mediation would be a great
milestone in your distinguished career as
Secretary General and would, I believe, put
Central America permanently on the path to
stability and democracy in the coming years. The
United States will make every effort to support
these critical negotiations to achieve your goal
of a cease-fire by the end of April.
Sincerely,
GBl

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
SUGGESTED LETTER
Dear Mr. Secretary General:
Thank you for your letter of March 25, 1991, sharing
your analysis of the prospects for a successful negotiation
to end the war in El Salvador. I am very encouraged by your
statement that we are at the threshold of a major
breakthrough in the U.N. 's efforts to mediate an end to this
longstanding conflict. I strongly share your view that a
concerted effort must be made to achieve political
agreements and a cease-fire by the end of April. I also
agree that we must use the deadline of April 30 when the
current legislative assembly dissolves in order to press the
parties to make a maximum effort to reach agreement on the
major issues, especially a cease-fire.
The United States wholeheartedly and firmly supports
the political negotiations which the U.N. under your
auspices is mediating. As my administration has stated on
many occasions, the United States believes that the only
humane and appropriate solution to this conflict is a
negotiated political settlement which allows for the
peaceful reintegration of former combatants on both sides
into democratic political life with full guarantees for
security and human rights.
His Excellency
Dr. Javier Perez de Cuellar,
Secretary General of the United Nations,
New York.
-2-
I know that some progress has been made in the past,
but I share your view that the next four weeks are the
decisive moment in this negotiation. I hope that you will
give this effort your personal attention and engagement to
ensure the maximum possible chance for success. I am
encouraged also by the efforts of Mexico, Colombia, Spain
and Venezuela to play an active role, at your request, in
support of a negotiated settlement and hope they will do SO
at the opening round of negotiations.
I am confident that President Cristiani will continue
to display the same good faith and flexibility that his
government has demonstrated over the past year. I know that
President Cristiani is deeply committed to this negotiation
process and will spare no effort to see it succeed. I hope
that those with influence with the FMLN will urge them to
refrain from any further military actions and to negotiate
in good faith on the remaining issues. The United States
will do everything possible to ensure the full
implementation of any agreements reached by the parties at
the bargaining table.
As to the issue you raised about direct contact by the
U.S. Government with the FMLN, as I have told you in the
past, this is a difficult question for the United States,
particularly in light of the heinous execution of two U.S.
servicemen by FMLN combatants in January. Nevertheless, I
take seriously your views that "such direct contacts are now
of critical importance to the success of
-3-
the peace effort." The State Department will consult with
President Cristiani on this issue and assess his views about
the matter you recommend. Our primary goal is to see a
negotiated solution to this war as quickly as possible.
After consulting with President Cristiani, my administration
will weigh carefully whether and how a direct contact such
as you suggest might contribute to an early cease-fire
agreement.
In closing, let me reiterate my strong personal
appreciation for the role that you have played in supporting
these negotiations through many difficult months. The U. N.
under your leadership played a decisive role in ending the
conflict in Nicaragua and holding that nation's first free
and fair presidential elections. An end to the conflict in
El Salvador under U.N. mediation would be a great milestone
in your distinguished career as Secretary General and would,
I believe, put Central America permanently on the path to
stability and democracy in the coming years. The United
States will make every effort to support these critical
negotiations and to achieve your goal of a cease-fire by the
end of April
Warmest personal wishes,
George Bush

ADDRESS
BY HER EXCELLENCY
PRESIDENT VIOLETA B. DE CHAMORRO
REPUBLIC OF NICARAGUA
BEFORE A JOINT MEETING OF THE
UNITED STATES CONGRESS
IN THE GREAT HALL OF THE
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
AT THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL
April 16, 1991
Mr. Speaker,
Mr. President,
Members of Congress,
In 1979 I chose to follow the difficult path of politics. I felt
that I owed something to the memory of my husband, Pedro Joaquin
Chamorro.
I became terribly disillusioned during that year. The
Sandinistas deviated from the course of the 1979 Revolution and
turned against democracy, against free economic initiatives and
against human rights.
That's why I resigned from the Provisional Government Board in
April, 1980.
That's also why I accepted the presidential nomination in 1989.
And we won. And now we're transforming our country and giving it
dignity by setting up the framework for a republican democracy.
In the past few years, Nicaraguans have shed many tears and much
blood. Many thousands of patriots, the equivalent of millions of
American lives, died for political causes, for ideological
differences, and because basic human rights were restricted and
people were prevented from living in peace.
Now, in Nicaragua, the war has ended, the majority of Nicaraguans
voted so that they could have peace.
More than 20,000 Nicaraguans who fought for liberty surrendered
their arms and returned to being civilians, for there was no
longer any reason to carry arms.
I reduced, by two thirds, the huge army amassed by the previous
regime, and I will continue to reduce the army's size as a step
forward in my de-militarization scheme.
From the moment that I took over the government, the Executive
Branch has religiously respected the freedom and independence of
all the government's powers, the democratic liberties and human
rights.
We did away with the policy of public institutions having to
conform to the interests of one political party, one group or one
person.
We also did away with the delirium of a totalitarian ideology;
Nicaraguans no longer have to kneel before the State.
Now the principle of freedom prevails so that people can speak
openly, move within their country freely, work and run their own
businesses profitably.
The last time that I addressed Nicaragua's Congress, I stated
that it isn't an easy feat to bring democracy to a country.
But if a democratic system is being built from the ruins of a
dictatorship, and a civil war -- from the ruins of an economic
disaster -- the feat is not only difficult, it is almost
impossible.
However, Nicaraguans have accepted this as their challenge.
Justice is the one element that cannot be missing from this
system. Crimes cannot remain unresolved, as we have witnessed in
the past.
My government is committed to radically reduce government
intervention in the economy and the enormous bureaucratic
apparatus that we have inherited.
Our Congress approved a law that authorizes private banks to
operate and encourages foreign investments and is studying the
privatization law in order to convert government businesses.
We are rapidly advancing toward the establishment of a social-
market economy. Restrictions on prices and salaries must be
lifted.
We have initiated a serious economic stabilization program,
accompanied by corresponding tax reforms, to discipline the
public to share the burden of real costs, to encourage domestic
production, and to stimulate private domestic and foreign
investment.
Senators and Representatives:
We are raising a Republic from the ashes of a previous period in
our history that has left our country saddened, but has taught us
a great deal.
No path leads to happiness if liberty is oppressed and human
rights disrespected.
3
In Nicaragua an authentic revolution is beginning. It is a
revolution for democracy and liberty, a revolution for which
Nicaraguans have longed, a revolution that will serve as a model
to other countries.
The consequences of militarism, which only succeeded in making
our country suffer, have forced us to assume the leading role in
Central America, to transform our region into a "zone of Peace
and Cooperation"; an area of international security, of democracy
and of economic prosperity.
In this sense, it is important to reiterate that Nicaragua does
not now tolerate, and will not tolerate sending arms to
neighboring countries. Our policy is to punish these types of
actions.
Following this policy, we were able to successfully take action
and recuperate the missiles which only last December were in the
hands of Salvadorean guerrillas.
Senators and Representatives:
When we first heard the news about the fall of the Berlin wall, I
found myself in Washington, DC in a working meeting with Speaker
Foley and other members of the House of Representatives. At that
time I was a presidential candidate.
I realized then that, in the same way, all of the walls that
infringe upon democratic rights and liberties would fall.
It pleases us that we have contributed to this current in
contemporary history, which no human force is able to distort or
prevent.
As I expressed in September, 1990, before the United Nations
General Assembly, democracy now belongs to all people.
There is no doubt that the United States is playing one of the
lead roles in this democratization process that is shaking up the
whole planet.
Friends,
We have arrived at a time when we can put an end to the
conflicting relations between our governments, and we need to
concentrate our efforts on constructing a new institutional
relationship which reflects the friendship between the peoples of
our two countries.
4
Within Nicaragua, we are instituting a policy of national
reconciliation - with perseverance and firmness -and of deep
respect for Human Rights.
At the same time, we are promoting a policy of reconciliation in
our international relations.
The National Assembly of Nicaragua is discussing an initiative
that I presented last April 4th, to change previous government
legislation that obliged Nicaragua to maintain a confrontational
relationship with the United States.
The majority of the Nicaraguan people do not believe in this law.
All of the people who voted did so not only to achieve internal
peace, but also to end international confrontations.
We are restoring the friendship between the United States and
Nicaragua, and we need to establish a strong common commitment
for the future of our countries and our peoples.
Nicaragua is part of a new democratic Central America which is
both working for, and hoping to, achieve unification in the near
future in order to compete worthily with the rest of the world.
- One Central America which is becoming a zone of peace,
liberty, and free trade, integrated in the near future to
Venezuela and Mexico.
For a unified Central America, the new decade will be one of
transition as we move toward the 21st Century, - it is also the
decade of exemplary relations between our countries and the
United States.
Finally, it is important to note, ladies and gentlemen, that our
efforts to strengthen freedom, establish democracy and set up a
"State of Law" have to be accompanied by economic prosperity.
The people of Latin America applaud the efforts of the Enterprise
for the Americas Initiative that President George Bush created
and presented during the recent meeting that took place in San
Jose, Costa Rica with the Partnership for Democracy and
Development. By the same token, we support the free trade zone
between Mexico and the U.S.
I would especially like to thank you, the representatives of the
American public, for the generous assistance that you and the
Government of the United States have given to the Nicaraguan
people for our reconstruction.
Nicaragua needs extraordinary international cooperation. Our
economy has been destroyed. Our productive capacity has remained
dismantled. The country was totally de-capitalized. In
5
addition, we have to protect our natural resources and promote
policies that will protect the environment.
We need steadfast financial assistance from the United States
throughout this entire decade to reconstruct our economy,
following the terrible damage incurred during the past decade.
We urgently need foreign investment, credit, and international
cooperation in order to permit our people to develop their
creative talents and to let us rise from the ashes left for us by
past dictatorships.
Only in this way will we be able to realize the dreams of our
people - a people that have heroically suffered in order to
strengthen democracy and liberty in their country.
Senators and Representatives, let me be so bold as to make my own
a thought from Abraham Lincoln: " The security that we have is
the love of liberty that God has planted in our breast."
God bless America!!
Thank you very much!!
