The ships were the Survey. two trips. the Morning Light. and the Maximus. The United States decided only who 50 percent of the people on these ships would be. Fidel Castro decided on the other 50 percent. This has nothing to do with the ransom deal. These are additional refugees permitted to be brought into this country. We named 50 percent of them. because of our Interest. and Justifiably so. in getting 900 additional Americans out of Cuba. But the price we had to pay was that Castro had the right to name the other 50 percent or 2.050 persons coming into this country on those ships in recent months. .
