Mr. Speaker. the Logan Act was in my opinion being violated then. Now. in order to get around this the administration is now letting the Cuban aliens or refugees negotiatealiens in this country are being permitted to negotiatewith an enemy government which the President of the United States himself declared to be an enemy government under the Trading with the Enemy Act in very recent weeks. He invoked. upon my request. the Trading With the Enemy Act in order to prevent third countries such as the Canary Islands from shipping into this country cigars made of Cuban tobacco which would have circumvented the embargo previously placed into effect. I say it is equally wrong to permit alien refugees to supply $62 million to Castro and I trust that my resolution will be acted upon favorably by the Foreign Affairs Committee particularly to cut off tax deductibility of contributions and to state the sense of Congress that this ransom and indemnity deal is against our best interests. Mr. Speaker. as a Member of the Congress from the State of Florida.
