We are basically undermining our own foreign policy. Passage of this legislation. however. will not necessarily mean that we will end up cutting off vital economic aid to those friendly nations who trade with Cuba. Instead. Castro has every opportunity to preclude the necessity for this legislation by simply accepting back those undersirable Cubans which were boatlifted to United States shores in 1980. He had agreed to accept the very same Cubans in the past. but he reneged. This legislation provides further incentive to accept those undocumented Cubans. Mr. President. it is time that our allies understand the nature of our relations with Cuba.
