Jim Conroy, a long-time Portland
resident, has joined with other U.S.
citizens in Nicaragua in "Witness
for Peace.” Witness for Peace is a
group o f people, mostly Christians,
who "believe that this war is incom
patible with the standards o f justice
o f most o f our people, that it is not
in our national interest, and that it
must be halted. As individual Amer
¡cans willing to put our lives on the
line for peace and justice, we believe
that we can contribute a great deal
towards diminishing the terrible toll
that the war is taking in human
lives."
(Conroy and the others are living
in Jalapa, Nicaragua, a community
near the Honduran border (hat is
subject almost daily to attacks by
the U.S.-trained
and equipped
“ contras.” They will maintain a
peaceful presence as coworkers of
the embattled people of the region
and as observers, reporting in detail
