Mr. FIELDS. Mr. Speaker, several of our colleagues have recently been calling our attention to the cooperative efforts of India toward the Soviet Union and its client, the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. The question has properly been posed as to why the American taxpayers should be sending aid to our sworn enemies through the guise of foreign assistance to India. Mr. Speaker, at a time when Congress is so heatedly debating the sending of funds to the Nicaraguan freedom fighters, it makes no sense to send United States wealth to India so that it can help fund the Sandinista Marxists.
Mr. Speaker, I offer for the RECORD a recent policy paper upon this subject for the serious consideration of my colleagues. We should be all grateful to the National Center for Public Policy Research, and others, for bringing this issue before the public.
