It is contrary to the policy we pursued in ending the cold war. and. indeed. it was not the course of action which resulted In the peaceful transition to democracy and market economies in Eastern Europe. H.R. 927 will also worsen conditions In Cuba and result in greater suffering by the Cuban people who remain hostages of Castros government. By increasing the hardships of the Cuban people. we are running the risk of increased violence In this already volatile nation. as well as the potential outflow of refugees. In addition. this legislation would allow United States citizens to sue foreign companies which traffic in property confiscated In Cuba. I believe such a provision will swamp already overburdened U.S. courts. and I submit for the record an article from the Washington Post which further details the adverse effects of this measure.
