Description

"President Reagan wants Congress to provide $100 million in U.S. assistance for the Nicaraguan rebels. Congress almost certainly will not. Tonight we'll talk live with a retired U.S. Army general who has turned getting assistance for the contras into a personal crusade. We'll talk with a member of the U.S. Senate who thinks both the President and the general are misguided, and we'll be talking with an official in Nicaragua's Marxist government." Includes commercials.
