1 delegations. Have you served as an adviser for -- in any
2 other capacity to any other branches of the United States
3 Government concerning El Salvador?
4 A. Well, I would say as an adviser, but not as a -- with a
5 formal title of "adviser." In other words, governments, U.S.
6 government, different branches of the U.S. government contact
7 me with a great deal of regularity to give opinions or write
8 something for them based on some issue.
9 So, for example, I am particularly interested in
10 issues of military -- of the organization of the military, as
11 was the U.S. military at the time.
12 So I did some extensive work with certain military
13 academic studies. This is important, because these are
14 academic studies carried out by the military war college,
15 carried out by Westpoint academics, or else carried out by
16 somebody who was appointed to look at the Salvador situation.
17 There was a great deal of worry about the nature of
18 the Salvadoran army and armed forces, so there was a number of
19 military studies of the army at this time, and I helped out in
20 some of those, provided information and wrote memos, et
21 cetera.
22 I also, I think probably the two most important ones,
23 one was by General Frederick Woerner, who was the head of the
24 U.S. Southern Command at the time. And there is something
25 called the "Woerner Report."
