One must doubt that the Founding Fathers would have succeeded in their revolution If they had indugled in such tactics. As for humanitarian aid the principles are clear. and flow from the finest traditions of our people. Nicaragua is racked by civil strife producing a steady flow of refugees. It is clearly appropriate to provide food and medicine to such refugees. whether Contras or not. and this can be done most efficiently through established international organizations with proven records and experienced staffs. Let me close by indicating that I dont understand the partisan cleavage on this Issue. I consider myself a supporter of the long and distinguished bipartisan foreign policy traditions of the late Senator Robert Taft. who lived in the district I now have the honor to represent.
