Vote Data for HR2968 (98th Congress)


Date: October 20, 1983

Subject: Covert Aid to "Contras"

Description: Boland (D-MA) amendment to prohibit, at a classified date specified by the House Intelligence Committee, support by U.S. intelligence agencies for military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua; to authorize $50 million in fiscal 1984 to help friendly countries in Central America interdict cross-border shipments of arms to anti-government forces in the region; and to direct the President to seek action by the Organization of American States to resolve the conflicts in Central America and to seek an agreement by the government of Nicaragua to halt its support for anti-government forces in the region. This would prohibit aid to the Contras, authorizing instead a relatively useless $50 million fund for friendly countries to interdict arms shipments to Communist guerrillas.

Result: Amendment Agreed to, 227-194
