4h 11min, jan 2, 1982 y - U.S. Embassy in San Salvador begins to counter massacre reports
Description:
After the new year, the U.S. Embassy in San Salvador begins to counter massacre allegations. The approaching deadline for the "human rights certification" to Congress likely aided the Embassy's reluctance to acknowledge the massacre's occurrence. Similarly, on January 8th, in reply to Reverend Wipfler's message, Ambassador Hinton disregarded Radio Venceremos' and others reports as "propaganda".
