In that regard. I believe the measures announced by President Clinton last week are a step in the right direction. These measures include the reciprocal opening of news bureaus in the United States and Cuba in order to improve the accuracy of the bilateral flow of information. support for the development of independent. nongovernmental organizations in Cuba in order to strengthen civil society. clarification of standards for travel for purposes of news gathering. research. cultural. educational. religious and human rights activities. simplification of regulations that govern travel to Cuba by the CubanAmericans for extreme humanitarian emergencies such as death or illness of family members. and. finally. authorization for Western Union to open offices in Cuba to facilitate the transfer of funds that are currently permissible for purposes of paying legal immigration fees and for casebycase humanitarian needs. Of course. I would like to see the administration go even further in order to permit the full. free flow of information and people between our two countries because I believe this would best facilitate the transition to democracy.
