1.       Mrs.  BOCCECIAMPS DE CROVATI   (Venezuela)   introduced draft  resolution A/C.3/39/L.71 on the situation of human rights and fundamental freedoms  in El Salvador and expressed  the hope that the Coiunittee would  support  it.
2.    With regard  to document A/C.3/39/L.83 containing amendments proposed  to draft resolution A/C.3/39/L.43/Rev.l,  she said that  for greater clarity,   the proposed amendment to paragraph  should read "Requests all States  to refrain from any military  intrusion  in El Salvador so as to allow ...".
3.    Mrs.   BELLORINI DE PARRALES  (Nicaragua)   introduced document A/C.3/39/L.84 containing  amendments to the draft  resolution contained  in document A/C.3/39/L.71. If  no agreement could be reached on draft resolution A/C.3/39/L.43/Rev.2,   it was hoped that document A/C.3/39/L.84 could serve as the basin  for   reaching a consensus on draft resolution A/C.3/39/L.71.
4.      Mrs.   FLOKEZ  PR1DA   (Cuba)   introduced document A/C.3/39/L.85,  which contained amendments  to draft  resolution A/C.3/39/L.71.     Her  delegation  had considered it necessary  to propose  those amendments because  the  sponsors of draft resolutions A/C.3/19/L.43/Rev.2 and A/C.3/39/L.71 had not  been able to reach agreement on a compromise  text.     Furthermore,  the proposed amendments to document A/C.3/39/L.71 did not adequately reflect the situation in El Salvador and were not entirely balanced.    Her delegation was prepared to participate  in consultations aimed at reaching  agreement on the basis of  the draft  resolutions under  consideration.
5.       Lastly,  with  regard to the statement made by  the  representative of   the  fascist
junta of  Chile,   she expressed the belief  that  the Chilean people would  ultimately regain their   freedom.
6.       Mr.  MORAGA   (Chile),  speaking  in exercise of  the right of  reply,  drew the attention of   the representative of Cuba to the eloquent  statement  recently made by the Ambassador  of Chile on  the question to which she  had referred.
7.      Mr.   MONTANO  (Mexico),  speaking  in exercise of   the right of   reply,  said  that the representative of Chile had been unable to refute any of  the statements made  in the  report of  the Economic and Social Council on the protection of  human  rights  in Chile   (A/39/631).     If the so-called building of democracy  in Chile was to be done at  the cost of  the mass arrests which had occurred  since  the declaration of   the state of   siege  in that country,  Mexico could only reject tuch solutions.
