Reagan Rules Out U S Combat Troops for El Salvador
President Reagan said in a CBS interview he does not foresee sending U S combat troops to El Salvador. He urged diplomacy to halt violence in Central America and said the U S would not deploy fighting forces, while continuing advisory aid to the Salvadoran junta. He contrasted the situation with Vietnam, stressing we are assisting at the request of a neighboring government to counter terrorism and disruption in the hemisphere. He noted diplomacy and targeted actions against weapons shipments, including Cuba, could shape policy without a full invasion. He warned against misreading intent and said intercepting arms depends on circumstances, with diplomacy guiding decisions.
