It does contain a rewrite of the Boland amendment. which was defeated in this House hours ago by a vote of 232 to 196. It does cut the .amount of aid in question in the Michel amendment in half. It does create a whole class of refugees in countries apart from their homeland for those who wish to receive that aid. It does prohibit humanitarian aid from going to the freedom seekers in Nicaragua. But it also ignores that the Sandinistas have already rejected various ceasefires and various talks.
