Mr. Speaker. a recent article in the New Republic by Ronald Radosh is entitled "Feet People." For some years. those of us supporting the administrations policy in Central America have argued that the Sandinista government in Nicaragua will cause a flow of refugees that will make the number of Vietnamese "boat people" pale in comparison. The report by Mr. Radosh also points out that the vast majority of the refugees are Campesinos. the rural poor. "precisely the kind of people for whom the Sandinista revolution was supposedly carried out." I urge my colleagues to read the following article and consider carefully its implications for future U.S. policy in the region.
