They knew when they signed the letter that we had men and women actively working to put pressure on Nicaragua. Now in that setting I think we face three crises: The first crisis is that as long as we lie to ourselves about the nature of communism and the nature of the Soviet threat and as long as we kid ourselves about what is happening. It is going to get worse. And if we go down that route. I think we better start figuring out where those 16 million refugees are going. because they are going to be here by 1990. The second crisis is we better rethink the role of the U.S. Congress in foreign policy.
