Because of the proximity of Cuba to the United States and the historically close relationship between the peoples of our two nations. it Is especially important that this victory come sooner rather than later. In evaluating all proposed legislation. administrative action. and diplomatic initiatives with respect to Cuba. it is important to keep several principles in mind: First. such actions must be calculated to emphasize the status of the Castro government as a rogue regime with whom the civilized nations of the worid should have no dealings. The 1994 and 1995 ClintonCastro immigration agreements. which represent the clearest manifestations of the Clinton Administrations policy toward the Castro regime. fail this test miserably. They have enhanced Castros international prestige as well as his domestic power. Now we hear that some within the Administration would like to give this brutal regime an even longer lease on life by making further diplomatic overtures.
