To Ambassador Hamilton:

We appreciate the statement you made recently 
regarding the attempt by former dictator Rios Montt to once again try to run for 
the presidency of Guatemala.  Please continue to support the innocent 
people that would be once again placed at risk by the governing of Guatemala by 
the man responsible for genocide during the years of the worst repression 
against the Guatemalan  people.  Thank you for speaking up to say 
that Montt's possible run would  make it difficult for the United 
States to have normal relations with the Guatemalan government 
especially if Montt would succeed in taking office against the 
constitution of the country.

We also speak to you as parents and members of a 
larger community here in Urbana, Illinois.  We support and communicate with 
our daughter in Guatemala as she reports back to us regarding the situation in 
Guatemala and the recording of past human rights violations.  We look 
forward to your continued support and would appreciate your efforts to 
press for international comment regarding the condemnation of the court's 
unconstitutional decision to allow this former dictator to attempt to run for 
office.

Thank you for your efforts on behalf of the 
citizens of Guatemala and the continued informing of the people of the United 
States regarding this important issue.

Sincerely, 

Jan and Durl Kruse
