Mr. Speaker. I rise today to express condemnation of the secret meetings that were held between the Department of State and the Castro dictatorship. and specifically between Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Peter Tarnoff and Communist Cuban official Ricardo Alarcon. which resulted today. a dark day in American history. in 18 Cuban refugees forcibly being repatriated to the Castro dictatorship. Mr. Speaker. I want the Committee on International Relations. of which I am a member. to hold hearings and receive a full accounting of who specifically authorized such a process. and all details relevant to that process. During March I was assured by senior administration officials that no other options prior to those that had been publicly debated and discussed had been presented to the administration.
