Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker. as a Cuban refugee who fled my native island in 1960. along with thousands of other exiles. I wish to congratulate the gentleman from New Jersey . my colleague. and the gentleman from Florida . my colleague. for presenting this very important resolution. Mr. Speaker. I witnessed first hand the horrors of communism and can personally attest to the persecution which occurs every day in my native Cuba. Not a day goes by when any congressional office in Miami is not flooded with tearful petitions from mothers. and fathers. and sons. and daughters whose families have been torn apart by the regressive communism of Fidel Castro.
