Qadhafi. and the Ayatollah Khomeini have made their decisionto support the Communists. Now we must make our decision. An elderly lady at Beaver Dam. KY. asked me last Monday morning: "Gee whiz. are Arafat. Qadhafi. and the Ayatollah really concerned about Nicaragua?" Lets be serious. If I thought the United States were actually faced with the kind of armed threat and refugee invasion pictured by our President. I assure you $100 million in aid to these Contras waging a losing battle in Nicaragua would not be appropriate for us to be considering today. The use of U.S. troops would be the issue of the day if our security were actually threatened.
