The Boland Amendments were a series of congressional provisions, named after Massachusetts Democrat [[Edward P. Boland]], that prohibited the use of taxpayer funds for overthrowing the government of [[Nicaragua]] or supporting the [[Contras]] in military operations.[^1] The amendments were largely circumvented by the [[Central Intelligence Agency]], the White House, and [[Oliver North]]'s illegal resupply network.
