This bill also carries with it a high human cost and I should note that the CubanAmerican community is far from monolithic in Its support for this bill. I am also deeply concerned by this bills codification of the Executive orders and regulations that implement the existing embargo. In spite of Cubas recent actions. codifying the embargo takes us in the wrong direction. making our eventual and necessary rapprochement all the more difficult. I also believe that a mandatory visa ban on officers and majority shareholders companies which are trafficking In such properties is an unnecessarily petty provision. I will vote against this legislation.
