This resolution provides that time and balance. It also tells the Nicaraguan Government. that if they do not grasp the opportunity offered. the United States will pursue policies that will make life even more difficult for them. Fifth. this proposal provides for the humanitarian relief of refugees. There are growing numbers of refugees outside of Nicaragua. and these people need help. People who are in need of food. clothing. and shelter should be helped. and that aid should be provided on a nonpolitical basis. The $10 million in this proposal is not intended to help carry on a war. It does not provide food and medicine and clothing to the Contras so the assistance they receive from other sources can be used to carry on the war. It is intended to help those who have been victims of the war. This aid is to be provided regardless of whether refugees have been associated with the groups opposing the 3overnment of Nicaragua by armed force. To insure that this humanitarian assistanice reaches those in need. the vehicles for its provision are the U.N. High Commissir ner for Refugees and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Both of these orgPnizations have long assistance in refugee assistance and in this region. This assistance would be provided according to the standard procedures under which these organizations normally operate. These procedures include that aid cannot be provided to armed groups or individuals.
