U.S. LatAm group asked to register as foreign

President Bush's administration has issued a special focus toward at least one group in the United States using public pressure to end U.S. involvement in Latin America.

This article reports that Bush has assigned special surveillance and repression toward these groups.

Director of one group, Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, Burke Stansbury, said the U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to the group asking it to register as an agent of a foreign government. He said the letter included misleading information and mischaracterized the group as one fund raising for the Farabundo Marti Front for National Liberation.
