Let us look and examine for a moment the Hamilton amendment and see If that amendment will accomplish our goals. What in the Hamilton amendment will accomplish these goals? What will put pressure on the Sandinistas? The sad answer. I am afraid. is that there is nothing in there that will do that. It really is no policy at all. Where does the "humanitarian aid to the refugees" referred to in the Hamilton amendment actually go? It goes outside of Nicaragua. It goes to those who have already left Nicaragua. Now. these refugees may need the aid. This proposal may have merit on its own. But it does nothing to achieve the goals that we are debating today.
