I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD at the conclusion of my remarks the full text of the letter. From fragments of information like this. it has become possible to put together a reasonably accurate picture of the 20day hunger strike in La Cabana prison which took place in the month of August. According to this letter. the prisoners demanded deportation from the country or death. So long as Cuban refugee flights to this country are continued. it seems to me that we should take the stand with the Cuban Government that the many thousands of political prisoners should be placed at the head of the list. rather than letting Castro select all those who are flown to the United States. as has been the case up until now.
