Mr. Speaker. I too do not want to be on record as facilitating the handing over of Central America to the Soviet Union. and so I will probably vote no on this resolution. which is more mortician than moratorium because it tells the freedom fighters they can look forward to imprisonment. refugee status or burial on some mountainside. This half clever resolution is supported by some. I am sure. who believe that Daniel Ortega is Walter Reuther with a Spanish Accent. They believe that the difference we have with the Sandinistas are simply negotiable misunderstandings. But this cellophane fig leaf of a bill cannot hide the fact that isolationism. pacifism and appeasement are essential elements of this legislation. and the philosophical underpinnings of the gentleman of the left who dominate this body since the last election.
