It is not huff and puff. as the gentleman from Illinois said last night. This legislation does direct and deadly damage to the democratic resistance in Nicaragua. It is retreat. It is disarmament. It is surrender. How you are going to have toughminded diplomacy. having vacated the field altogether boggles the mind. It turns freedom fighters into refugees. into exiles from their own country and. of course. they can live on the handouts that the United Nations decides to let them have. It does nothing to encourage the Sandinistas to stop their internal repression. their external subversion or to negotiate in good faith. It throws in the towel.
