Ortega says Sandinistas may cede power in 1990 if people choose
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega told reporters in New York that the Sandinistas could transfer power to an elected opposition in 1990 if the people want another form of government. He defended the move as part of political pluralism and noted steps toward democracy under the Central America peace accord. Reagan plans to outline conditions for ending Contra aid as Ortega defends compliance.

Reagan Seeks Contra Aid as Insurance Policy
President Reagan, wary of peace talks in Central America, plans renewed Contra aid to deter Sandinista backsliding. In a major policy address to the Organization of American States, he will stress support for the regional peace plan while voicing concerns about its implementation. White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater framed the speech as not final judgments on Nicaragua. House Speaker Wright said military aid proposals lack support while peace efforts continue.
