Mr. Speaker. on Monday evening I heard President Reagan say that Belisarlo Betancur. the President of Colombia. supported his new initiative to provide aid to refugees in Central America. When confronted with the proposal in its entirety. which is after 60 days and no agreement is reached in Central America that military aid will continue to be supplied to the Reaganistos. the guerrilla army attempting to overthrow the Sandinistas. Belisarto Betancur denied having supported that proposal. stating that the proposal is no longer a peace plan but it is a preparation for war. Mr. President. you have misled Bellsario Betancur and you have misled the American people into believing that your plan is one for peace in Central America.
