Speaker. I have today introduced House Concurrent Resolution 459 stating it to be the sense of the House of Representatives that the people of America as represented by the Members of this House oppose the trading of American dollars for Cuban prisoners. In the first place. there is no question but what the administration is sanctioning this trade by issuing within 24 hours after the abortive proposal was made by a military tribunal appointed by Castro. who dictated the decree or the judgment of that kangaroo courtwithin which time they were attempting to exact a ransom. visitors visas to those who are negotiating for the release. Now there is no doubt in my mind that this is a circumvention of the Logan Act which does not permit any person to negotiate on a matter of international significance with a foreign country. and that applies to any person in this country doing so. In addition. in my opinion it is a violation of the Trading With the Enemy Act.
