To criticize this substitute as not being humanitarian is as unfortunate as not seeing the forest for the trees. Ours is the only real humanitarian effort. Ours is the only amendment that prepares for. as well as calls for. realistic negotiations between Nicaragua and the Sandinistan government. It is absolutely necessary that we resume aid to the Contras in order to keep pressure on the Marxist Sandinistas. If those struggliig for democracy are not supported. or worse forced to become refugees. the Sandinistas will be encouraged to press their military advantage. And how soon will this advantage become apparent where the neighboring countries are concerned? This is a question the United States cannot afford to ask.
