I think the point of the gentleman from California is very clear. The Barnes amendment simply encourages refugees. Do we really believe that they are going to sit there as refugees and wait until next October. and still be able to take up arms against the Sandinista government which has opposed them and suppressed them? In the meantime. what is the Sandinista government doing? They are setting up free fire zones. they are continuing their importation of 11.000 tons last year of military equipment. from the Soviet Union. that flow of arms continues on unabated. and they continue to increase their ability to destroy freedom fighters.
