Among the several avenues of action open. the President could use his authority under section 5 of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1951. as amended. to direct that these imports be stopped. Section 5 relates to a finding that a nation or area is dominated or controlled by the foreign government or foreign organization controlling the world Communist movement. Action under this section would be similar to that taken by the President permitting the furnishing of assistance to Cuban refugees in Florida. pursuant to the Mutual Security Act of 1951. but this. of course. was a separate determination. Latest figures available to me indicate that the imports from Cuba are considerable. One port alone has given me figures on just a few items which will be of interest to you.
