We have had discussion on what is it that will actually end Castros control. his lockneck control of Cuba. a control so tight that Amnesty International has rated him on the top of the charts in terms of nonhumanitarian work toward other humans. but I would like to suggest that in all these different options that we have heard tonight. maybe the real answer that is never suggested on the floor of the House is that maybe we do not know. Maybe we do not know. I had the good fortune of actually visiting with refugees with the gentleman from Indiana and others 5 months ago. and in that visit we had conversations with refugees who said the way to solve the Castro problem is not by sending more tourists that will lead to replenishment of his bank accounts. not by sending him more plant and equipment which will lead toward greater industry. which will replenish his bank accounts. not by allowing him to sell off pieces of the island of Cuba which will lead toward him being able to replenish his bank accounts. Instead. the only way that you solve the Castro problem is by tightening the noose. These were people who had risked. their lives and left behind all possessions that they owned for one simple thought. and that is the idea of freedom.
