It would be highly improper. I feel. to consider the flight of freedomloving Cubans from their martyred island in the same light as the criminal hijacking of an airplane in the United States. We should not label everyone who seizes a vessel or aircraft as a common criminal. while the Castro regime continues to suppress normal freedom of movement. including the right to emigrate or seek exile. I also will strongly oppose any interpretatlon of the antihijacking agreement which would seek to ban the antiCastro activities of Cuban exiles. It is not a common criminal conspiracy to join with other patriots to seek to free ones country from an alien tyranny. and we should not equate legitimate exile activity with the kind of criminal conspiracy which results in a hijacking.
