I also resent the veiled threat that if Congress doesnt follow the Presidents course of action. then we must pay the price of U.S. involvement. I have consistently opposed aid to the Contras because it is a bad policy and because I dont want to see the United States become unnecessarily involved militarily in Nicaragua. If you want to see thousands of refugees fleeing into this country in search of a safe haven. all we have to do is spark a regional war. These individuals will not be coming to flee from Communist tyranny but to flee from the threat of the terror of war. To be certain. we have legitimate security interests in Central America.
