House Demos attack Schultz
for Nicaraguan aid campaign
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a
preview of the coming congres
sional battle over Nicaragua,
Secretary of State George Shultz
was accused of “red-baiting”
Wednesday by Democratic
House members who said the
administration is distorting
events in Central America.
The secretary found himself
in the midst of an explosive
confrontation before a House
Foreign Affairs subcommittee
hearing, where his statements
on Nicaragua and Cuba were
compared with the tactics of
Sen. Joseph McCarthy during
the 1950s.
Shultz replied to Rep. Ted
Weiss, D-N.Y., “It is the
ultimate perversion to say that
an attack on the tactics in
Nicaragua is comparable to Sen.
McCarthy....! resent it
deeply.”
Later, Weiss apologized to
Shultz for his remarks.
President Ronald Reagan,
Shultz and other top officials
were criticized by Rep. Peter
Kostmayer, D-Pa., for an inten
sive campaign toward restoring
$14 million in covert aid to the
guerrillas fighting to overthrow
the Sandinista government in
Nicaragua. Congress eliminated
the aid last year.
“It is you who began the
escalation of rhetoric,”
Kostmayer said. "You have
--
i
raised the ante. There is a lot of
red-baiting going on.”
Shultz replied: “I am here at
the invitation of the committee.
If you want to withdraw the in
vitation, I have lots of other
things I can do.”
Kostmayer then responded,
“You are the secretary of state.
There is nothing I can do about
that.”
Under questioning by
Kostmayer and other
Democrats, Shultz pulled back
from congressional testimony
and a speech in San Francisco
last week in which he said the
Sandinistas have become a
totalitarian regime dominated
by the Soviet Union.
