In reality. these people oppose any American support for democracy in Central America. This attitude places the United States in a dangerous position. it destroys our flexibility in the region. If we adopt this isolationist policy. we will have no option but direct U.S. intervention when the situation becomes desperate. I thought the comments of my colleague from Texas about refugees were most enlightened. and most appropriate. Many people in my State have become so concerned about Nicaragua that they have visited that country. Their interest is commendable and their intentions are admirable. but they cannot get a proper perspective on the situation there from a short. governmentcontrolled visit.
