House OKs 3.5 Million for Contras Aid
The House approved 3.5 million dollars in humanitarian aid to the Nicaraguan contras as part of a stopgap bill to keep the government running beyond September 30. Speaker Jim Wright said this could be the last U.S. aid to the rebels, while President Arias urged restraint on military support. Wright noted progress toward cease-fire signals and potential future aid only if conditions shift.
