Mr. Speaker. in light of the recent kidnaping of 19 Cuban refugees from the British island. Anguilla Cay. by Castro forces. the Fort Lauderdale News. an outstanding Florida newspaper. branded the kidnaping as a bold act of aggression. I must concur In this position. and stress the need for a firm policy toward Cuba by the United States in the event that any similar incident should occur again. The Secretary of State said in his news conference last week that the United States was concerned over this incident. and that it was discussing measures that might be taken to protect Cuban refugees from any similar situation in the future. I hope that this can be accomplished. and if Castros agents attempt another similar act of aggression. then the United States should act to insure the safety of any Cuban refugees involved. A copy of the Fort Lauderdale News editorial on this matter that appeared in that newspaper on August 18. 1963. isentered at this point in the RECORD:
