Mr. Speaker. our own Nation is far from perfect and the other free world nations have their faults as well. But why has there never been a flood of refugees to Cuba. to Russia. to Vietnam. to mainland China. or to any Communist country? That is a question that needs no answer. And it is a testimony to the basic underlying strength of our system. regardless of dips in prestige. foreign policy reverses. or economic troubles. I hope that those in Latin America and elsewhere who are tempted to emulate the Cuban regime will take careful note of the message sent to them by refugees in Havana. I hope the world press will give it due weight. And I hope that our diplomats will lose no opportunity in bringing this message home to the peoples of the world.
