I happen to believe that it is the Reagan administration's diplomatic
ineptitude which has created a situation where the Sandistas would
apparently seriously consider deploying MiG-21's.  However, botched or
not, that deployment would drastically shift the balance of power in
Central America in a fashion unacceptable to this country.  Therefore,
while I would not support an invasion, nor will I applaud the
diplomatic weakness of the administration, if the Nicaraguans actually
deploy the aforementioned hardware, I would support a strike on their
(the MiG's) bases.
