"It can be said that of the five points. we have now achieved one * * * four still have to be fulfilled * * * the only sensible thing the U.S. rulers can do is to * * * cease violations and aggressions against our revolution and our country." Castros five points included a demand that the United States halt Americanbased "counterrevolutionary" attacks on Cuba as well as a demand for abandonment of Guantanamo.
