consideration and said that El Salvador was still working on
its position. Later in the day, poloff spoke with MFA Chief

recommending to Vice Minister for Salvadorans Abroad Escobar

and work instead toward a consensus declaration. He said
that passing no declaration was an unacceptable position for
