Mr. President. in the face of the administrations utterances on behalf of the cause of Cuban freedom the weekend action in restricting Cuban exile leaders. together with announcement of the U.S. role in the capture of an exile ship in the Caribbean must make pretty frustrating and unsavory fare for the American public. The Justice Department has invoked the Neutrality Act to justify a halt to refugee attempts to encourage guerrilla activity in Cuba by showing that there still exists an antiCastro resistance effort. It is not hard to imagine the frustration of the quarter million exiles as they watch their nation being raped and ravaged by a Communist regime dominated by European communism. in direct violation of the Monroe Doctrine and every moral tenet to which this Nation has ever subscribed. The Cubans watched the United States ramrod the halfplanned Bay of Pigs invasion and then refuse even to pick the wounded off the beaches.
