Summary

Prohibits any U.S. agency from obligating or spending funds, except for specified humanitarian assistance, to support overtly or covertly military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua or against the Nicaraguan Government. Authorizes the President to transfer certain funds from the Department of Defense to the migration and refugee assistance account of the Department of State. Requires such transferred funds to be used to assist in the safe and orderly relocation and resettlement of Nicaraguans who are currenty in Honduras or Costa Rica (and to provide humanitarian assistance for those Nicaraguans until they are resettled). Authorizes providing such assistance only through the International Committee of the Red Cross or the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and only upon its determination that such assistance is necessary.
