What more could we ask than we do this. to protect our own security interests in the region? Their security interests. we were told. lie in establishing peaceful bilateral relations with the United States. If the United States were to end the covert war and return to the negotiating table at Manzanllo. leaders of the Government of Nicaragua stated that they would call for a ceasefire with the Contras. ask for help from the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees for relocating Contras who laid down their arms. and would immediately lift censorship of the press and guarantee fundamental freedoms. I want to state again that they are not asking for the Contras to give the guns to them. They are willing to have the Contras turn their guns over to the Government of Honduras or to the Government of Costa Rica. and they were not saying that all the Contras would be happy to be brought back to Nicaragua.
