It was an operation that started with a genuine desire of Cuban citizens to come to the United States. many of them to be reunited with families. It was seized upon by Fidel Castro to attempt to embarrass this country and his former citizens who were now in this country. by emptying his jails and sending a number of undesirables and requiring that boats there take some of these passengers in order to return to the United States. Efforts have been made by the State Department of the United States and by the Justice Department to work out an arrangement whereby those deportable aliens would be returned to their country and to the responsibility of Cuba. where it should be. But the Government of Cuba has resisted every effort. has shown no inclination whatever to cooperate with the United States and to accept those deportable aliens back. This is an opportunity. as the Senator from Florida has indicated. for us to have some leverage to use in this matter. It is the first time we have had any leverage since this incident occurred.
