Speaker. why is the United States subsidizing the Marxist Government of Nicaragua to the tune of $150 million in 1984 and continuing that support in 1985? The United States imports many products from Nicaragua which provides the cash to buy Soviet and Cuban weapons to continue their war against the U.S.-backed freedom fighters. Americans have unknowingly helped to provide the means to wipe out the Meskito Indians. suppress religion. and turn thousands of Nicaraguans into refugees. Last year alone. the United States imported $21 million in bananas. $7 million in fresh beef. $2 million in cane sugar ani many other products from Nicaragua. I have introduced H.R. 2158 to prohibit the importation of bananas. beef. and sugar products into th.: United States from Nicaragua.
