Mr. Speaker. this past week we were once again reminded of the lengths that the Cuban people will resort to to sink freedom from the repressive regime. Eleven Cuban refugees were rescued by the excellent men and women of our United States Coast Guard after being spotted by an aircraft of the humanitarian group. Brothers to the Rescue. The refugees had spent 17 days in an isolated area of the Bahamas known as Dog Key. Dog Key. Mr. Speaker. is nothing but a rock. a big rock in the middle of the ocean. For 2 weeks the refugees had little to drink or to eat. They ate snails and birds to survive in the middle of the ocean. One of the refugees. Rolando Martinez Montoya. would break snail shells with his teeth so that his children who accompanied him on this horrible journey would be able to at least eat the inside of the snails. Unfortunately.
