But Congress and President Ronald Reagan watched the El Salvador elections even more closely, for on their outcome hung the immediate future of U.S. involvement in the civil war-torn nation. Reagan was hoping that the elections would blunt the critics of his Central America policy, and that Congress would vote for more aid to El Salvador.

The problem is that Americans look upon elections differently than do Salvadorans, Tenenbaum said.
