Bill Would Halt Arms to Contras
Three members of Congress, saying the Reagan Administration has a “six-year policy of failure” in Central America, introduced legislation in the House today to halt $40 million in military aid to the Nicaraguan contras.
The legislation, by Reps. Bruce A. Morrison (D-Conn.), Stewart B. McKinney (R-Conn.) and Sam Gejdenson (D-Conn.), seeks to halt the final release of $40 million in military aid to the guerrillas that was approved by Congress last year as part of a $100-million aid package. A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate by Sens. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) and Lowell P. Weicker Jr. (R-Conn.).
