They have been and are providing weapons to the insurgents and terrorists In El Salvador. When there is aid to the Contras. the flow of those weapons and the rate of terrorist activities lessens. When there is not. they Increase. If the Sandinistas are given free reign to do as they have promised. the only check on their assertiveness will be the U.S. military. not to mention an uncontrollable flood of refugees into this country. I can sure think of other places for the $100 million to go. But the cost of doing nothing and facing the unpleasant but predictable consequences will be far greater in farm country and to every American.
