OF FUNDS AND CANDIDACIES.
It is the sense of the Senate that Federal employees should not be
authorized to--
(1) solicit political contributions from the general public; or
(2) run for the nomination or as a candidate for a local
partisan political office, except as expressly provided under
current law.

d9f315eb82deb886faf28af54011a94a5c3f1b27e6762ad275be24bdfcd5f948

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
(1) On May 23, 1993, an explosion in Managua, Nicaragua exposed
a cache of weapons, including 19 surface-to-air missiles, hundreds
of AK-47 assault rifles, machine guns, rocket propelled grenades,
tons of ammunition and explosives.
(2) Investigations of the explosions have uncovered 310
passports from 21 different countries, including seven United States
passports.
(3) Documents in the possession of those apprehended in
connection with the February 26, 1993, bombing of the World Trade
Center have been traced to Nicaragua.
(4) The acquisition and storage of these weapons and documents
could not have been accomplished without the knowledge and
cooperation of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and
ministries of the Government of Nicaragua under its control.
(5) The Sandinista National Liberation Front has a history of
subversion and links to international terrorism.
(6) The recent discovery demonstrates the inability of the
legitimate Government of Nicaragua to control all of its ministries.
(7) This lack of authority makes uncertain the ability of the
Government of Nicaragua to prevent the export of terrorism by the
Sandinista National Liberation Front.
(b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) no further United States foreign assistance to Nicaragua
should be obligated pending investigation by an appropriate
international body, with the participation of United States Federal
agencies, of the Sandinista National Liberation Front; and
(2) such investigation should focus on the relationship of the
Sandinista National Liberation Front to acts of terrorism which
threaten to undermine the security of the United States and the
political stability and economic prosperity of the Western
Hemisphere.
