Summary

Reaffirms support for the goals of democracy, peace, freedom, and security in Central America and the terms of the Bipartisan Accord on Central America of March 24, 1989. Supports the progress that has been made toward holding free and fair elections in Nicaragua on February 25, 1990. Condemns the action by President Ortega to end the cease-fire with the Nicaraguan Resistance, calls on him to reverse that decision, and calls on both the Government and the Nicaraguan Resistance to abide by the cease-fire. Deplores any effort by: (1) the Government of Nicaragua to curtail, postpone, or cancel elections on February 25, 1990, or to use any pretense to impose emergency laws during the period leading up to the election; or (2) the Nicaraguan Resistance to disrupt such elections.
