Gonzalez accuses Reagan of senility over Nicaragua policy
Texas Democrat Henry B. Gonzalez charged President Reagan shows mental senility, criticizing his hard line on Nicaragua and warning of a blood bath with U.S. troops. He cited Reagan’s refusal to shift from a military solution as evidence of age-related stubbornness. Reagan said Grenada forces are below 2,700 with withdrawal by December 23, and most combat troops are slated to depart.
