AUSTIN —Just as the Nazis
exterminated “defective” hu
man beings during World War
II, handicapped babies are
being murdered by medical per
sonnel who believe it is best to let
a mentally retarded infant die, a
House committee was told
Wednesday.
Carmen Quesada, director of
the Association for Retarded
Citizens of Texas, urged the
House Judiciary Committee to
approve a bill providing crimin
al penalties for doctors and
nurses who intentionally refuse
to perform life-sustaining oper
ations, provide nourishment or
give other routine medical treat
ment to handicapped children.
“Persons who are labeled ‘im
perfect’ or whose lives are consi
dered inconvenient are being
murdered,” Quesada told the
committee, which sent the mea
sure by Rep. Randy Pennington,
R-Houston, to a subcommittee
for further study.
“We witnessed this kind of
thinking 40 years ago in Ger
many during the Nazi regime,”
Quesada said.
Pennington said federal law
allows for the withdrawal of fed
eral funds from hospitals where
such deprivation occurs, hut he
said the state had no specific sta
tutes governing such cases.
“This proposed legislation
simply says that now it will be
unlawful to let a newborn child
die because that child happens
to he horn somewhat impaired,”
Pennington said.
Quesada told the con
that although 75 percent ofn
larded people are abletofel
productive and indepajM
lives, some physicians thinki
best to let a retarded infant die |
“While we would all liketobt
lieve we have come a longw
f rom ancient times wheninfffl
who were different wet
drowned or abandoned todies
neglect, accounts from all over
the country tell us differendf
Quesada said.
She cited the case of a»
tarded Indiana baby who died
from starvation because t
routine surgical procedure was
withheld.

SAN ANTONIO — A Salva
doran trade unionist says multi
national corporations could be a
viable resource should democra
cy return to the El Salvador, but
they are currently exploiting the
work force and natural re-
Alejandro Molina Lara, a dor, where workers make as lit
leader of the National Federa- tie as $2.50 a day, he said.
Book
tion of Salvadorn Workers and
president of the Fishing Indus
try Union, said multi-nationals
are “taking our natural re
sources and exploiting the work
force of El Salvador.”
Citing his country’s high un
employment rate, however,
Molina Lara said multi-national
corporations would be welcome,
with certain restrictions, should
democracy return to war torn El
Salvador.
“A source of wealth is our.
labor force,” he said. “They (cor
porations) could provide work,
but they would have to respect
our self-determination.”
About 75 multi-national cor
porations, including American
firms, have interests in El Salva-
Molina Lara also said tl
multi-nationals would have
pay taxes on the profits they takf
from El Salvador, adding"!
haven’t been paying those taxe
for Haifa century now
The union leader, who has
lived in the United Statessin«
1981, charged the U.S. govern
ment with sending troops and
weapons to El Salvador onlylo
protect the corporations' in
terests.
