If. on the other hand. you believe the Constitution stipulates that war making authority is designed to be the Joint responsibility of Congress and the executive. then vote for the HamlltonBarnes amendment. If you believe the responsibility of Congress is to redress humanitarian problems in the region regardless of whether recipients are Contras. and that aid should be administered neutrally by the International Committee of the Red Cross and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. vote for the HamiltonBarnes amendment. In the final measure. the issue before this body is primarily a constitutional one. As a Republican member of this bodyone who holds a conservative view on constitutional issuesI would urge my colleagues to pay heed above all to this issue of due process.
