The largest city In my district. Elizabeth. is the home of thousands of individuals who have firsthand knowledge of what the people of Nicaragua are experiencing. These refugees from Castros Communist Cuba are adamantly opposed to trusting the Sandinistas. They are opposed because It Is all too familiar to them: The restrictions on human rights. the buildup of the armed forces. and a heavy reliance on the Soviet Union are things that they too have experienced. Cutting off aid to the Contras now. in their judgment. would amount to another Bay of Pigs when we left the Cuban freedom fighters stranded on the beaches.
