Mr. Pastora's questions are not
those of a diplomat or even a profes-
sional manager of violence engaged
in low-intensity conflict. He is, after
all, engaged in a life-and-death

Nicaragua's neighbors".
?"An end to the export of subver-
sion from Nicaragua, which would
be the logical consequence of
achieving the first two objectives"

seriousness"
U.S. officials have been warning
for several years of the security
risks associated with employing
Soviet nationals in the embassy.
