The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua ( Jefferson )
8. Reports from Legation in Tegucigalpa indicate that it is convinced that President Chamorro is permitting revolutionary plots in Nicaraguan territory against the Government of Honduras. You are instructed to investigate as thoroughly as possible and if necessary to make it absolutely clear to President Chamorro that the United States Government will not condone such revolutionary activities. You may also state that the United States Government expects President Chamorro to take effective steps to prevent Nicaragua from being used as a base of operations against a friendly neighboring government. Unless the United States has immediate assurances combined with effective measures for the performance of Nicaragua’s manifest international obligations the United States will feel compelled to make an independent investigation.
