The US Agency for International Development is having trouble finding agricultural experts to go to El Salvador. The agency has been advertising four positions, which would entail more than the usual benefits, in that troubled Central American country for weeks without getting a response. The critical slots call for an agricultural economist and land-tenure specialists with a knowledge of Spanish.

Potential candidates for these jobs are probably deterred by the possi ble dangers and the murky nature of the conflict in El Salvador.m
