Under the leadership of our chairman. the gentleman from New York . we made sure that we safeguarded U.S. national security priorities. that we cracked down on the Castro dictatorship. and that we protected the interests of American citizens. One provision of this bill which accomplishes all of these objectives is a measure I introduced which sets reporting requirements on the implementation of title IV of the HelmsBurton law. the Libertad Act. This provision helps ensure that HelmsBurton will be actively enforced as Congress always intended by requiring regular official notification on the denial of visas to persons doing business with Castro. using property illegally stolen from U.S. American citizens. It ensures that those who act in total disregard for the security and foreign policy concerns of our country by engaging with a terrorist regime near our borders are held accountable for their actions. and it reaffirms the spirit and the rule of law of the Libertad Act.
