For Immediate Release March 20, 1986
Today's vote in the louse of Representatives was a dark day for
freedos.
This vote must be reversed. The Soviet Union cannot be permitted
to enjoy the luxury of knowing that, once captured, a country
will be relegated forever to the Communist can. we declare our
unwavering support for freedom and for peace-loving people
struggling to overcome cossmunist tyranny.
Those Democrats and Republicans, who stood with the forces of
freedom, have the Nations profound gratitude, and my own.
But you have more. You have my solemn determination to come
back, agai .and again, until this battle is won, until freedom is
given the chance it deserves in Nicaragua.
Tomorrow, will begin to press in the Senate -- and then back
again in t House -- for the real and effective ass*stance for
Nicaraqua? freedom fighters which was denied them today -- and
which thoa brave men and ware deserve.
The American people have begun to awaken to the danger emerging
on their da~orstep. And one day, in the not too distant future,
that aware as will cams haw to the Rouse of Represpnatives.
We are qai roundt we are winning converts. The next battle
will bring Jusinq q the victory this just and good cause rtghtly
deserves.
Finally, Ihave some special words today for the freudow
n
fighters. The events of today and those that will take place ncncl
over the next week are preparation for the day when democracy ZnW
returns to Nicaragua. A chance to reglise that while democratic mi
peoples are sometimes slow to wake to imminent danger, when they AwI
DDO/W
do awaken their commitment to freedom and their reso ve for .DOD
Wcp"
victory is unshakable. D"'AS

So, to the freedom fighters of Nicaragua I say: Have faiths have ~~MC)
hope. The American people are just now awakening to the justice C;
of your causer just now realizing that your struggle is their ides
struggle. Soon, with our support, your courage will ensure the UWAM)
triumph of your cause, our cause, and all of humanitf?s cause --
the cause of freedom.
