I rise in support of the substitute offered by the distinguished gentleman from Indiana. the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Mr. HAMILTON. The substitute continues the prohibition on further U.S. military aid to the Contras. It provides $10 million for humanitarian assistance to refugees outside of Nicaragua. and It provides $4 million for implementing a Contadora agreement if one is achieved. The substitute calls for escalating diplomatic. political. and economic pressures on Nicaragua if the Sandinista regime fails to reverse repressive policies within Nicaragua. or fails to end Its activities aimed at destabilizing its neighbors. Further funding of the Contras can only serve to enkindle wider hostilities that could engulf the entire region.
