Shultz Sees U S Aid Fueling Contras Opposition
Secretary of State George P. Shultz says 270 million dollars in aid for Nicaragua's Contras could be used to foster opposition political activity such as protests and publications if a Central American peace effort proceeds. He urged direct talks with the Sandinistas aimed at a cease fire by November 7 and cited Salvadoran President Duarte as a negotiation model. Duarte was to meet Reagan and speak to a House-Senate gathering on the peace process.
