Reagan seeks scaled back Nicaragua aid with executive spending power
President Reagan sent Congress a reduced request for 36.2 million dollars in Nicaragua aid while keeping authority to approve arms and ammunition spending. Rebels announced a new peace proposal aiming for a March cease fire and democratic reform. Democrats draft their own package linking arms to Central American democracies. The plan reserves 3.6 million in escrow until peace steps are verified. Reagan vows a strong push to win approval, warning of a major congressional battle over U S aid to the Sandinistas.
