Republicans fail bid for unconditional Contra aid vote
Washington AP Republicans admitted defeat in their bid to secure an unfettered vote on Reagan’s $100 million Contra aid request in Nicaragua. Democrats hold the votes to delay action, with House leaders planning to attach the measure to a military construction bill for a June 9 vote, while McCurdy’s plan would delay military aid for 90 days and press talks with Sandinistas.
