Unfortunately. the proximity of Central America leaves us no room to simply run. hide. and pretend the threat will go away. At a time when the Soviet Union is giving five times more military assistance to Cuba and Nicaragua than the United States is giving to all of Latin America. we must not lose sight of realitythe reality of millions of "foot people" fleeing possible Communist governments in El Salvador. Honduras. and even Mexico. the reality of our borders being overrun by millions of hungry refugees who only desire to live in peace. and the reality of hostile Soviet satellite governments sitting astride the Rio Grande. Closing our eyes and wishing the threat away may temporarily work elsewhere. but to abrogate our duty here in our own back yard does not bode well for the future of a Nation such as ours.*
