In one of the communiques issued to the State Department during the past week Castro stated: Let the Government of the United States not even think that the bodies of the dead caused by the cowardly attack. nor the wounded in heroic combats. or the compatriots illegally retained by its Armed forces. can be used to blackmail. pressure and humiliate Cuba! Humiliate Cuba indeedMr. Castro has been humiliating the American public ever since he used the many Floridians who rushed to Cuba to carry their families and relatives back to the United States. Instead of relatives. the shocked Floridians found that they were forced to take hundreds of Cubas more undesirable inmates of prisons and mental hospitals. Castro did not want them. So. he thrust them upon us. And. because our immigration policy was weak and undefinitive. we took them and yes. we were humiliated. Mr. President. the support for this recommendation on returning the Cuban criminals has been overwhelming.
