House Debates Aid Cutoff to Rebels in Nic aragua
The House held four hours of closed session debate on a Democratic measure to halt covert aid to anti-government forces in Nicaragua. A vote was postponed to next week as administration efforts to broker a compromise continued. Reagan’s new commission on Central America may influence outcomes, and prospects suggest House passage is unlikely and Senate rejection likely in its current form.

Nicaragua rushes land titles amid revolt and arms plan
The government reports a surge in land titles over two months, surpassing the four years of prior rule. The ceremonies, tied to Latin America’s tiller movement, gain new meaning as Sandinista conflict escalates with rebel groups aided by the United States. In border regions, titled peasants will form cooperatives and are to receive arms for defense.

Washington reports split on the CIA covert effort in Nicaragua. Supporters say the program disrupts arms shipments to Salvadoran guerrillas, while critics claim no weapons have been seized and the scope has expanded beyond its aim to deter, not halt, transfer of arms to Sandinista forces.
