Kansas congressmen oppose Contra aid in House showdown
Two Kansas Democrats Rep. Jim Slattery and Rep. Dan Glickman said they would oppose Reagan's 36 million dollar request for Contras citing a lack of direct negotiations with Nicaragua. They prefer humanitarian aid unless a cease fire is secured and argue against lethal aid, while Sen. Nancy Kassebaum also opposes lethal aid as premature. The dispute comes as House Democrats prepare their rival plan excluding weapons funding ahead of a decisive vote.
