    • 508. Airgram A–112 From the Embassy in Nicaragua to the Department of State, September 26, 1971.

      The Embassy reported on the Somoza-Agüero national unity pact, suggesting that Somoza’s Liberal Party sought U.S. association with the pact to lend it “an air of respectability and international acceptability,” while Agüero’s Conservative Party hoped that the United States would “be the guardian of the agreement and the potential enforcer should Somoza fail to comply with it. The Embassy recommended staying aloof and avoiding“the embraces of local politics.”
