They should realize that HamiltonBarnes keeps the Contras in the game and. by doing so. recognizes their right. and that of the unarmed opposition. to a say in the future of their country. So the Sandinistas must realize their conduct over the coming monthstheir response to these openings we createmust be positive and in good faith. If it is not. I believe they will find the Congress much less patient the next time this issue arises. The Contras. like the Sandinistas. also have a choice. They can avail themselves of up to $10 million in refugee assistance at sites outside Nicaragua. during the period of the various negotiations. This assistance will not permit them to wage their war. It will encourage a cease fire. but does not force one upon them.
