President Ronald Reagan
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
We are writing to ask you to put the power, prestige and good offices of
the U.S. clearly and unequivocally behind the upcoming efforts of the
Contadora Group to seek a negotiated end to the bloodshed in Central
America.
On June 11, 1985, in a letter to Representative Dave McCurdy,.you
emphasized Your determination_.to..,seek a political solution through-.the
diplomatic -.initiatives-of.the Contadore:=?nitions. We believe that
Contadora has reached a crossroads: in one direction lies the death of
the peace process and a rising level of bloodshed; in,the other direction
lies a renewed Contadora process, with the strong support of the
democracies of Latin America and our deoperatic;.allies;taround the world.
The signers of this letter have differing v2..'..-points about contra
funding. However, we share the conviction .t.-.:t the time
has
come f or
.
..
a major diplomatic initiative by the U.S., i-. support of Contadcra,
and we believe we share with you the belief at any negotiated
solution must provide for an end to any Nicaraguan support for f_reign
forces, full security guarantees for Nicaragua's neighbors, a-:d one.
creation of open, pluralistic political insti-itions within ':__araz.:a
that would protect human rights and allow the-'licaraguan pecc:..
h
c
oose their own political destiny.
Recently, in Guatemala City, at the suggestic of the Contad:ri
the Central American nations, including Nicar iua, accepted _
fundamental principles, which would apply to Central Amer__t- -a=xons,
and initiated plans for anew diplomatic effc to incorpora ?nto
a legally binding, verifiable treaty. Mr.'Pr sident, we shar?_
skepticism about the ultimate willingness of ie Sandinistas ::ivel
accept these principles, and we share your ou-:age at the ab:._?.
human rights that are a daily occurrence in c:_=aragua.
However, we believe, as do the overwhelming n:jority of democra-.: nations,
in Latin America and throughout the world, that the. Sandinistas _-.,:.;_3:
now be tested by a diplomatic initiative, support .by.-the de-__rx.-es.
of the region and throughout the . world, to.- determine:- -in clear an-: 1
decisive ,terms, whether a diplomatic solution based-,cm, the
Cc::a~__ n
principles is viable.

In the spirit of your letter of June i1, 1985, we ask You:
1. To announce that you are postponing any decision on what kd. of
contra funding to request until the Central American summit meeting.
in march, which is designed to seek a major breakthrough in the
Contadora negotiations.
2. To announce your willingness to meet with the Contadora Heads of
State, if they so request, to explore any actions the U.S. might take
to facilitate a diplomatic solution based on the Contadora principles;
and to fully consult with the Latin American democracies, and Congress,
after the Central American summit, to determine the possibility of
the Sandinistas accepting and implementing a final, verifiable Contadora
Treaty that would include the full protection of Nicaragua's neighbors
and the protection of human rights and political and religious freedoms
for the Nicaraguan people.
3. To support the creation of a bipartisan delegation, including leading
supporters and opponents of contra funding, accompanied by senior
Administration officials of your choosing, to meet with officials in
any nation.,you deem, appropriate, to explore how.: the U.S. can best 'support
Contad
h
ora aad Whet
r, and under what circumstances, the Sandinistas
'might sign a final Contadora Treaty in line with the principles of
Contadora and your letter of June 11, 1985.
We believe that the recent -actions.'in Guaterr.s : i provide. a potentially
historic opportunity for our country to be a :)sitive and--constrsctive
force for peace, supporting the democracies -= Latin America and the
world behind an end to the blgodshed on terms that promote our nat-onal
ideals and protect our national security.
We ask you, in the spirit of a bipartisan peace.initiative, ::sr
proeMls the most careful consideration.
