[net.politics] Reagan ignores "Kissinger" commission

ab3@pucc-h (Darth Wombat) (01/10/84)

	According to Mr. Speaks (sp?) at the White House, Reagan has
*already* indicated that he will reject the recommendation of the so-called
"Kissinger" commission that further aid to Nicaragua be tied to stricter
observance of human rights.  That's just great; Ronnie has rejected their
conclusions without even seeing their final report...well, several members
of Congress may have other ideas about this when they go into session later
this month.
	Obviously, I disagree with R.R. on this one; but what is even more
interesting is that he would reject this report *now* when Congress may
shove it down his throat later...and in an election year.

The commission reccommended tying further aid to EL SALVADOR to human
rights, not NICARAGUA as stated by WOMBAT.

It was further aid to El Salvador, not Nicaragua!   I'd like to see the day
when Reagan does what would be the most intelligent way to deal with Nicaragua,
send aid there instead of "advisors" in Honduras.
Flames on! I'm ready.
