"It is the ultimate in hypocrisy for the unelected Nicaraguan Government to charge that we seek their overthrow."

"Our credibility would collapse, our alliances would crumble, and the safety of our homeland would be put in jeopardy."

"We must support the regional efforts now underway to promote solutions to regional problems."

"The countries of Central America are smaller than the nations that prompted President Truman's message."
