Obviously this is exactly what Castro wants. There is ample reason to believe some of the hijackings have been inspired by the Castro regime precisely to put the United States into that posture. because after 10 years the Castro regime does want some sort of recognition from the United States. I believe the wise approach to this problem would be to strengthen existing international treaties by proposing an international extradition treaty on hijacking of aircraft. limited to hijackers of commercial aircraft so that we would not disturb the traditional and historic precedents of our own and other countries in giving political asylum to political refugees. Such treaties must be limited to a precise definition of a hijacker. otherwise Castro could demand of us the return of political refugees who have been given asylum in this country for other reasons. I think it would be a great mistake for the United States to enter into any bilateral discussions with Castro alone. This is an international problem and it should be so treated.
