— After one week in office, Mr. Carter cut off all military assistance to Nicaragua.

— The Carter appointed U.S. Ambassador to Nicaragua was advised that he shouldn’t get too close to Somoza, and he promptly began an intimate association with opposition forces, including Sandinistas.

— Clear evidence of betrayal came from Robert Pastor, Mr. Carter’s personal representative from the White House, when he asked President Daniel Oduber of Costa Rica, “When are we going to get that son of a bitch to the north out of the presidency?”

— The White House and State Department constantly ignored positive proof that the Sandinista movement was backed by Cuba with men, arms, and equipment.

— Under the guise of the Human Rights Commission, public support was given to the Sandinista Movement, while deprecating the democratic government of Nicaragua.

— Through his dominant influence in the Organization of American States, Mr. Carter put unbelievable pressure on member nations to condemn the government of Nicaragua.

— By Executive Decree, Mr. Carter prohibited the sales of military hardware to Nicaragua.

— Mr. Carter’s representative on the International Monetary Fund twice blocked badly needed standby credit for Nicaragua.  These acts represented economic betrayal of an ally.

— When financing for Nicaragua’s hydroelectric dam project was obtained through other nations, President Carter pressured those nations to cancel these financing arrangements.

— After the “Famous Twelve” had been enjoined, the U.S. Ambassador pressured the Nicaraguan government to permit their return.  These were known subversives and, under the umbrella of the U.S. State Department, they conducted treasonous activities in Nicaragua.

— When dollars were badly needed, Mr. Carter successfully pressured all shipping companies to boycott Nicaragua so that the coffee crop could not be exported.

— Under orders from the White House, the U.S. Department of Agriculture arbitrarily gave instructions to beef inspectors to shut down Nicaraguan beef exports to the United States.

— The U.S. embassy in Nicaragua called and advised businessmen of the opposition political party to transfer their dollars from Nicaragua to the United States.  This was done so as to liquidate the dollar supply in Nicaragua and, thus, dollars would not be available to purchase arms and ammunition.

— Due to U.S. pressure, an Israeli ship destined for Nicaragua, and loaded with lifesaving arms and ammunition, was forced to return to Israel.

— Mr. Carter, the U.S. State Department, and the OAS were repeatedly advised of international law violations by Panama and Costa Rica.  No action was taken.

— Mr. Carter, the U.S. State Department, and the OAS were repeatedly advised as to Communist staging areas in Costa Rica.  This area was never investigated.

— Mr. Carter successfully closed all markets where Nicaragua could purchase arms and ammunition.

— The United States was successful in negating all treaties and mutual defense pacts which would have saved Nicaragua from a Marxist takeover.

— The United States, through President Carter’s representative, broke her promise to preserve the Guardia Nacional of Nicaragua.

— As a result of Mr. Carter’s policy toward Nicaragua, eight thousand loyal members of the Guardia Nacional are now in prison and waiting to be tried.  They committed no crime, and the vast majority of these men and women will be sentenced to thirty years at hard labor.

— Mr. Carter’s representative gave assurances that members of the Liberal Party would be treated fairly.  Many members of the party are in prison on political charges, and all of the affluent members had their property confiscated.

— Using human rights as a pretext, Mr. Carter successfully destroyed Nicaragua and is guilty of aiding and abetting the Marxists.  Since “his group,” the Sandinistas, won, over three thousand men, women, and children of Nicaragua have been slaughtered.  Until this date, President Carter had made no protest about the violation of their right to live, not to mention their human rights.

— Mr. Carter could have had a Nicaragua without the Somozas, which he wanted, and without Communism, but he chose to let the Marxists take the nation.

— Mr. Carter has now provided the Soviet Union with Atlantic and Pacific seaports in the Western Hemisphere.  Nicaragua has both.

— Nicaragua was invaded by international aggressor forces, with Communist brigades from many countries.  Mr. Carter, the State Department, and the OAS had this information and did nothing.

— The Nicaraguan Army was still intact at the end, some sixteen thousand strong.  It was never defeated by the Communist invaders.  Mr. Carter saw to it that these gallant anti-Communist troops simply had no ammunition with which to fight.

— Mr. Warren Christopher, on direct orders from President Carter, advised me that I would not be welcome in the United States.  This was also less than six hours after I had arrived in Miami, Florida on July 17, 1979.  It was also less than twenty-four hours after I had, in accordance with an agreement reached with Ambassador Lawrence Pezzullo in Managua, resigned as President and Chief of the Army of Nicaragua.  Ambassador Pezzullo had told me that I would be welcomed in the United States as a Chief of State, and that he was speaking for President Carter.
