The gentleman from Maryland has been characterized rightly as being opposed to some of the spending in that the $75 million for Nicaragua is contained in the motion that the gentleman from Maryland will offer. But the gentleman from Maryland is up against the restrictions of the Budget Act. Thank goodness he is because he would have us spend $1.5 billion more for foreign aid. but the Budget Act restricts him to add only a half billion dollars. a half billion dollars that will not go to the refugees in Florida or to the victims of Mount St. Helens. a half billion dollars that will not go to narcotics control because that is cut. a half billion dollars that will not go to the housing industry or go to solve many problems in this country. It will go to Nicaragua where a Communist government exists.
