More aid sought for Salvador
NZPA-Reuter Washinton President Ronald Reagan is proposing almost to double American aid to El Salvador amid rising concern in Congress about escalating American military involvement there.
Senate and State Department sources said Mr Reagan's new Budget included SUS22S million for El Salvador and a request was being prepared for about SUSIOOM more.
The SUS32SM proposal requires congressional approval and voting on the issue will be a crucial test of support for the President's commitment to help the Salvadorean ruling junta resist guerrilla insurgents. The sources said last night the new request included S6OM for military aid. At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee: hearing, several senators asked if America was’ sliding into a "quagmire" in El Salvador much aS it did in Vietnam.
