There comes a time when the people of Nicaragua can sustain themselves no longer. If the Contras do not receive our aid. what would aid opponents have them do? Are they supposed to return to Nicaragua. to face certain imprisonment and death? Are they supposed to live in exile. either in the region or in the United States? What of their families living in refugee camps or hiding in the hills? What shall we say to these people who have turned to us for help? If aid is denied today. and Congress later decides we made a mistake. what then?
