Dear Mr. President:
I urge you to deny a visa to travel to Cuba to a member of Congress who has repwtedly
accepted an invitation by Cuban tyrant Fidel Castro to travel to the island and who statetf-that he
intends to take US businessmen along with him on rhe trip. This trip does not fall undeijhe
guidelines which rule travel to Cuba and issuance of visas would contradict your own rv:,
Administration's public pronouncements to enforce the embargo against Castro.
lt is important to make clear that the United States will penalize anyone who willingly
violates the embargo toward Castro. Furthermore. the possible presence of businessmen on this
trip clearly shows that it is an attempt to lobby the United States government to lift the embargo
so their businesses can take advantage of Castro's new slave economy.
This case is a clear cut opportunity for your Administration to signal that your support for
the embargo are backed by actions not only words.
Once again, I urge you to deny visas to this member of Congress and his travel associates
to Cuba. Your urgent attention to this matter will be great I
reciated.
Member of Congress
