Mr. Speaker. it is a tragedy of our times that this week. as we mark the 78th anniversary of Cuban independence from Spain. the human flood of refugees is a grim reminder that the people of Cuba still are not free.

Nor can Cuba even begin to consider itself independent. for it has become a CXXVI782Part 10 satellite of the Soviet Union. with Soviet troops and weapons on its land and Soviet rubles shoring up an economy devastated by the policies of Fidel Castro and his minions.
