The only way in which you can get assistance is if you enter the family of civilized nations who obey international law. And lastly. I hope the President is ready and prepared to respond to Castro if he once again uses the people of Cuba as he has in the past. as human bullets. in large refugee waves to the United States. this time having suffered this twice. this time and the people of Cuba having suffered this. this time the President should proactively and. hopefully. in a preemptive fashion say very clearly that if the Castro regime seeks to use Cubans as human bullets. that it is the United States intention to quarantine the waters around Cuba so that the people who are used as human pawns and sent onto the high seas in which thousands have died can be rescued but also brought back to Cuba. and that during this period of quarantine any other vessels that may seek to enter the quarantine area would. in fact. not be permitted to pass. and. hopefully. by making this preemptive statement. we will send a strong message that we have to be ready to follow up so that in fact we do not go through another Mariel. we do not go through another 1994 incident as we have had. Tomorrow. the House and the Senate go into a conference committee on the HelmsBurton legislation on the Libertad legislation. I would hope. and I expect. that the administration will work with the Congress in supporting a bill that sends a clear message to the world and to the regime that. in fact. unless you follow the road to democracy which has swept this continent in every country except for Cuba. and unless you move to respect the human rights of your own people as you have signed on to not by our standards but as you have signed on to by the universal declaration of human rights of the United Nations. then we will move to create democracy in Cuba by standing up for United States Interests.
