Well. they have all the guns. They have over 150.000 men under arms in that small country. Everybody else lives in fear. whether it is the Catholic Church or whether it is the newspapers or whether it may be peasants that we saw and refugees that we visited in Honduras. It seems to me that those who support the Sandinista government in this Chamber. those who seek to deny aid to the freedom fighters who want only freedom. democracy. should weigh very carefully the words of Daniel Ortega. who said also in this statement that I just referred to: Even if they arrive accompanied by American Congressmen. they will go to jail because they are guilty of crimes against the Nicaraguan people. I am not certain when members of the resistance are going to Managua. but when they do.
