Retaliation against Nicaragua
includes total trade embargo
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Ronald Reagan, retaliating
against Nicaragua’s “aggressive
activities in Central America,”
has decided to impose a total
trade embargo against that
country and to abrogate a
U.S.-Nicaraguan friendship
treaty, it was learned Tuesday.
Reagan was to sign the ex
ecutive order for the embargo
either late Tuesday on his way
to Europe for an economic sum
mit, or this morning while he is
there, said an aide to Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
Chairman Richard Lugar.
Lugar was told by Secretary of
State George Shultz that the em
bargo will not go into effect un
til May 7, because of various
legal requirements, aide Mark
Helmke said. Lugar said the
move “an important step in the
the process of implementing a
comprehensive policy. It is not
the end-all and be-all, but it is a
first step,” Helmke reported.
The toughest job
you’ll ever love
We admit it. It takes a dif
ferent kind of person to be a Peace
Corps volunteer.
We won’t mislead you with
glowing pictures of exotic lands. The
hours as a volunteer are long. The
pay is modest. And the frustrations
sometimes seem overwhelming. But
the satisfaction and rewards are im
mense. You’ll be immersed in a new
culture, become fluent in a new
language, and learn far more about
the third world — and yourself —
than you ever expected.
You’ll also discover that prog
ress brought about by Peace Corps
volunteers is visible and measurable:
Such as health clinics established in
the Philippines; Fresh-water fish
ponds constructed in Kenya; roads
and schools and irrigation systems
built in Upper Volta; tens of thou
sands of people given essential skills
in farming, nutrition, the skilled

Being a volunteer isn’t for
everyone, and it isn’t easy, but to the
people of the developing nations
who have never before had basic
health care or enough to eat, the
Peace Corps brings a message of
hope and change.
We invite you to look into the

the next 3-12 months in Africa,

According to a White House
announcement, a copy of which
was obtained by The Associated
Press, Reagan also planned to
order a suspension of service to
the United States by
Nicaragua’s airline, Aeronica,
and by the country’s national
flag vessels.
The statement said the ac
tivities of Nicaragua, “sup
ported by the Soviet Union and
its allies, are incompatible with
normal commercial relations.”
Nicaragua’s trade with the
United States has declined
sharply since 1981, reflecting
the deterioration in relations
between the two countries.
Nicaragua imported about $110
million in U.S. goods last year
while exporting about half that
much to the United States,
mostly bananas, coffee and
other agricultural products, ac
cording to official figures.
The decision came less than a
week after the House killed ad
ministration efforts to resume
U.S. aid to the Contra in
surgents seeking to overthrow
the leftist Sandinista
government.
The draft statement said the
administration believes there is
far greater support for economic
measures against Nicaragua in
the Congress than there is for
military involvement.
"Direct pressure represents
the only effective means of
moderating Nicaraguan
behavior." the statement said.
It said the measures should be
seen as "unmistakable evidence
that we take seriously the
obligation to protect our securi
ty interests and those of our
allies.”
Lugar said the administration
move was a direct outgrowth of
what he called the consensus in
Congress that emerged during
the Contra funding debate that
“we needed to hit the
Nicaraguan government with
some sanctions.
“How can we give money to
freedom fighters when we are
carrying on business as usual
with the Sandinistas?” was a
key question during the con
gressional debate, Lugar said.
“Both Republicans and
Democrats were very supportive
of taking this approach,” Lugar
said.
The statement said that, in
addition to Nicaragua's alleged
attempts to export its revolution
elsewhere in Central America,
the administration has learned
that Nicaragua has established
military ties with Iran.
Ac cording to newly
declassified intelligence infor
mation. Iranian arms and am
munition are at a North Korean
port awaiting shipment to
Nicaragua.
In addition to the trade em
bargo, Reagan also planned to
suspend a U.S.-Nicaraguan
Treaty of Friendship, Com
merce and Navigation. U.S.
diplomatic ties with Nicaragua,
however, will remain intact as
an expression of U.S. will
ingness to resume a dialogue
with Nicaragua should present
conditions change.
According to a secret
memorandum from the State
Department to White Mouse na
tional security adviser Robert
McFarlane, also made available
to the AP, the administration is
studying additional sanctions
against Nicaragua.
These include a default
declaration on Nicaragua's of
ficial debt; a freeze on
Nicaragua's assets in the United
States; restrictions on travel by
U.S. citizens to Nicaragua; the
closing of a Nicaraguan trade of
fice; and a "broader ban" on all
transactions, according to the
document.
