 You know, aren't it up there? Why don't you come in here and take some seats. I know we don't have too much time. I appreciate very much your coming in here. I just have had you. I have never felt stronger in my life than I do now. I have a strong opinion of the necessity of what it is that we're asking. The Kansas made a speech yesterday and he got a question and answer period and a young student asked him a very logical question. Aren't we confusing the people by referring to the Sandinistas and the Contras or Freedom Fighters and so forth? He said, isn't it time we simply refer to the Communists and the Freedom Fighters? Now this is red-baiting because, good Lord, their government down there or Davis government is boasted, not just acknowledged, that they are Marxist, Leninist, they are a Communist government. That's their philosophy. I think the people may be able to make better judgments if we said that, but I'm going to ask Colin to tell you about this deal, what we've set up, exactly what it is and why. But I want you to know that all the misstatements of fact about us wanting a military settlement and all of this, from the very first we have tried, we've had more than 40 trips down there by representatives, one time for weeks and weeks we had somehow been down there traveling from government to government and at that time what we were trying to persuade them to do was to get together. Good to see you. Well, good to see you. You're right. How are you? Good to see you. Nice to see you today. Nice to see you. Well, based on the business that I used to be in, I think the Redskins are terrible showmen. They should have saved their second quarter to the fourth. No, everybody would have gone home by then. That was a massive, the first quarter. I was going to say, actually the Broncos fans were just leaving in drugs. You could see them with their orange shirts on. We waved goodbye to them. See you around. I don't think my children go to the fourth quarter. They had to do well on the second quarter. Because there's past their bedtime. Well, not only that, it was just past their recovery for the second quarter. Well, listen, I know we haven't got much time, but we're here to talk about another game. It has to do with Central America and make a ride with the freedom fighters. Duberstein has just made a speech yesterday and a student asked him a question. Why do we keep on talking about the Sandinistas? We have the people confused. He said, freedom fighters, that they can understand. So why do we just call the others the communists? The communists versus the trees fighters seem to do. People begin to sort that out. But we think that this last proposal that we have is the best chance for Ortega if the pressure is going to bring him around to be used. That this would not be used if he keeps the promises and there is a ceasefire and so forth. So far, he has violated every promise that has been made about any improvement. Not just in these dealings, but going all the way back to before the revolution against Somoza was ended. When he pledged a democracy, a pluralistic democracy and so forth. And we think that the thing that has brought him to even negotiate in this plan, even making gestures if he is going to go along. Yes, how about that? Well, feel good. Come in, you've got a gentleman here, I'm sure. But I want to talk to you about this situation in Central America and why we believe that the military aid and that we're now asking for is every bit as important as the non-lethal aid. The whole history of the president administration down there has been one of violating every promise they've made about democracy or doing this and that. And now with this Arias plan and their agreement to participate we think that, well, so far there, they have backed away from so many things and tried to keep loop over Somoza. Well, even if he blatantly did, for one thing, or when he publicly declared to them that even if there was an election in his country to chose another government, they would not give up their power. So we think that he's in there negotiating, but the pressure that has made him do it is the presence of those freedom fighters. And we think now, putting this small amount, 3.6 million, in escrow so that it's just ammunition so that it can be caught with empty guns. And we actually had experts sit down and work out what has been the outfall, the use of ammunition over a period of time so that we could limit it. But we're hoping to keep them there in the negotiations and coming through. And it will never be used, never be delivered. If they honestly do join the other solid or central American presidents in this Arias plan to agree to have a ceasefire, that will never be delivered. But we think... The time is valuable and also thanks to many of you who have been supportive of what we're trying to do. Let me just, if I could, first say something, some of this misconception that I am out there wanting a military victory and the crushing of the Sandinista government and so forth. From the very first we have been embarked on a program of trying to get a negotiated peaceful settlement that would result, not just in peace but in democracy for the people of Nicaragua. And back in the early days of this whole program, we had an emissary down there, Phil Habib, for a long period of time until he got kind of worn out. We had to get somebody else to change for him. But they were down there literally permanently meeting with the other presidents of the other Central American countries and with the Sandinistas as well as the freedom fighters that try and arrive at a ceasefire. We had a kind of... Our plan at that time was if we could get a negotiation directly between the Sandinistas and the freedom fighters. And we suggested so that possibly the church could be the intermediary there and a mutually intermediary. And from the very beginning we had the conference saying they were willing to do that. They prepared the only ones that held out and wouldn't with the government of Nicaragua. But this was our policy and now with the plan that is there, this proposal that I'm going to tell you about that we've made is based on the very minimum need and with the idea of if Ortega will change his ways because he has lied repeatedly and broken his word on other things all along the line in these efforts. If and when there is a ceasefire and a peaceful settlement there will be no taking of the ammunition out of escrow and no need to. And otherwise if he's still going to play the games he's playing we believe that the pressure that has finally brought them into participating is the pressure imposed by the freedom fighters. And it would be I think throwing the game to give up now what has been successful in bringing about this meeting and the plan. Thank you, Mr. President. I'd just like to pick up from that point that our strategy is fundamentally diplomatic because of the heat that was put on them by the four Central American Democratic presidents and the pressure that was put on them by the freedom fighters being increasingly successful in the field. They said they weren't going to do certain things with respect to amnesty. Good morning, Mr. President. Good to see you. Good to see you, sir. I know that we're late. Would you like me to sit? Take that chair right over there. Always be. Good to see you, sir. It's back to talk. I have always been envious of Mr. President. You, in many cases, I don't know. It's nothing you authorize that. You know, sometimes I'm amazed at how well that's progressed. Because sometimes I see someone there. I can understand how that line afraid a certain amount of concern. Well, listen, we both know what the subject is here. I appreciate the information you're setting out. Yes, sir, I think that she captured, in my mind, on the basis of my own visits to that area and talking to a number of others, the situation as it is, I thought it was reasonably straightforward without a great deal of bias. Because it comes to the same conclusion I do, I'm obviously finding it more compelling. But I thought that the facts were generally unsettled. Well, I've been meeting all morning long with Congressmen up in the ill of both parties including those that can't see their way.
