I rise to speak in favor of the Contra aid request. I believe that if we cut all aid to the freedom fighters and the CommunistSandinista government is then able to fully consolidate its position. our Nation will eventually be faced with something close to an economic and strategic nightmare. Economically. our Nation could ultimately be faced with a tidal wave of refugees streaming across the Rio Grande into the United States. The administration has said. rightfully so. I believe. that the Sandinistas are not merely Stalinists. suggesting a totalitarian attitude. but they are also Leninists. meaning that they have an expansionist goal.
