Abstract

On 17 September 1984, Walter Mondale stated in a Washington campaign speech that if Nicaragua rejected a "good-faith com­ promise" and continued to export revolution into Central America, as President, he would respond with a "quarantine." During a New York Times interview following the speech, Mr. Mondale did not specify what "quarantine" actually meant, beyond "interdiction" by Central American forces assisted by U.S. intelligence information.
