BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL




Report To Senator Edward Zorinsky



OF THE UNITED STATES





Applicability Of Certain U.S. Laws That Pertain

To U.S. Military Involvement In El Salvador



Section 21 (c) (2) of the Arms Export Control
Act requires the President to submit a
report to the Congress within 48 hours of
the existence or a change in status of
significant hostilities or terrorist acts which
may endanger American lives or property,
Despite U.S. Government property losses,
the possible endangering of U.S. personnel,
and the use of substantial emergency funds
by the President in response to the Ilopango
air base raid, no report was filed. GAO
believes a report should have been filed.
DOD determined that the deployment of
mobile training teams to El Salvador in
1981 did not require a report to the Con-
gress under the War Powers Resolution.This
determination was based on certain repre-
sentations. The facts GAO developed
contradict some of these representations.
