The United States and Cuba have demonstrated the capacity to deal with each other where it serves our mutual purposes. Over the last 10 years we have negotiated agreements with the Cubans on maritime boundaries. fishing rights. aircraft hijackings. and on the establishment of the interest sections that operate out of the Swiss and Czech Embassies in Havana and Washington. respectively. There are many other areas where agreements would be useful. such as on the return to Cuba of convicts who emigrated during the Mariel boatlift and on eliminating commercial radio interference between Cuban and United States stations. Radio Marti would have done nothing to encourage the Cubans to cooperate. In fact at the 1981 Rio de Janeiro conference to settle commercial radio issues the Cubans walked out in reaction to the Radio Marti proposal.
