...contras, the U.S.-supported guerrillas who are fighting the leftist Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. As if to launch the battle, President Reagan last week strongly repeated his support for the foundering contra cause, pledging that "we will not abandon our friends in Central America." Secretary of State George Shultz then went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to plead for $270 million in new contra aid. The White House wants the funds to begin flowing shortly after the current aid expires Sept. 30 and to extend for 18 months, beyond the end of Reagan's term. Shultz did not specify...
...Chairman Biden, the hearings could provide a spark for his presidential campaign by giving him a chance to show his mettle in front of a national television audience.

Colleagues say he favors an INF-only deal as a "firebreak" that will satisfy congressional yearning for arms control while leaving SDI intact. Paul Nitze, special adviser to Shultz and Reagan on arms control, is concerned that an INF-only deal could lead to a Soviet strategic buildup if there is no progress in START. The only way to break the deadlock in START, he feels, is an agreement spelling out which SDI experiments would be allowed under...
...third U.S. goal during Shevardnadze's visit is to spur a revamping of Soviet emigration procedures. A mixed team of U.S. and Soviet human rights specialists opened talks while Shultz and Shevardnadze held an 80-minute morning session at the State Department...
