Chapter One Hundred and Eleven
"Secretary Haig, what is the Administration's strategy for such a potential use of military force against Nicaragua?"
"We will contribute certain airborne and light infantry forces, as well as naval and aerial bombardment of targets. We are in negotiations with the governments of Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala, and others to form a cohesive coalition-but I cannot disclose more specific strategy details at this time."
"Secretary, in the case that the potential invasion is authorized, and the US-with or without allies manages to remove the Sandinista junta, what then?"
"We will form a provisional government, run by native Nicaraguans, who will draft a new constitution as the foundation for subsequent free elections."
"The leaders of this new government will not be members or supporters of Contra guerilla forces?"
"They will be selected based on their commitment to democracy."
