Mr. President. on May 2. the Clinton administration reversed 30 years of United States policy by agreeing with Fidel Castro that future refugees would be picked up by United States forces and returned to Cuba. The administration portrays its decision as an immigration control measure reached in secret for the good of misguided Cubans who might set out on rafts and inner tubes to reach the United States before the doors slammed shut. Apparently. it was necessary to keep senior United States officials responsible for Cuba policy in the dark as well. The Clinton administration has not satisfactorily explained its motives and objectives in reaching this agreement with the Castro regime.
