ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT ON CUBA
THE PRESIDENT: I want to speak with you today about
my Administration's plans to press forward with our efforts to
promote a peaceful transition to democracy in Cuba. A little more
than a month ago, I took steps to stop the dangerous and illegal
flow of Cubans attempting to enter the Untied States by sea. I
want to report to you on the results of these steps and why I
believe it was the right thing to do. But first, let me be clear,
our commitment to a better future for the Cuban people remains as
strong as ever.
Throughout our hemisphere, a powerful wave of
democracy is bringing new respect for human rights, free elections
and free markets. Thirty-four of the 35 countries in this region
have embraced democratic change. Only one nation resists this
trend: Cuba.
Cuba's system is at a dead end - politically,
economically and spiritually. The Castro regime denies Cubans
their most basic rights. They cannot choose their own leaders.
At the same time, economic collapse threatens the well-being of
every man, women and child in Cuba.
The pressure of our embargo and the withdrawal of
Soviet support have forced Cuba to adopt some economic measures of
reform in the last two years. We haven't seen that before. But
economic change remains slow, stubborn and painfully inadequate.
The denial of basic rights and opportunities has driven tens of
thousands of Cuban to desperation.
In the summer of 1994, thousands took to treacherous
waters in unseaworthy rafts, seeking to reach our shores; an
undetermined number actually lost their lives. In response, I
ordered Cubans rescued at sea to be taken to safe haven at our
naval base at Guantanamo and, for a time, in Panama. But this
could not be a long-term solution. Last fall, I ordered that the
young, the old and the infirm and their immediate families be
admitted to our country. Thousands entered the United States in
this way. Still, that left tens of thousands of young men at
Guantanamo who were becoming increasingly frustrated and
desperate. Senior United States military officials warned me that
unrest and violence this summer were likely threatening both those
in the>camps and our own dedicated soldiers.
,
�-2-
But to admit those remaining in Guantanamo without
doing something to deter new rafters risked unleashing a new,
massive exodus of Cubans - many of whom would perish seeking to
reach the United States. To prevent that situation and to settle
the migration issue, I took action. The Cuban rafters who were
brought to Guantanamo last summer will be admitted to the United
States, except those found to be inadmissible under U.S. law.
Those Cubans rescued at sea while illegally trying to enter the
United States will be taken back to Cuba. Under our generous
program of legal immigration, 20,000 Cubans from Cuba will be
allowed to enter and reside in the United States every year from
now on. And we will continue to provide assistance to Florida to
help resettle those Cuban migrants.
I know that many of you have questions about aspects
of this policy. Yet, the simple truth is that there is no
realistic alternative. We simply cannot admit all Cubans who seek
to come here. We cannot let people risk their lives on open sea
in unseaworthy rafts. And we cannot sentence thousands of young
men to live in limbo at Guantanamo.
Our new policy is working. Since its beginning, on
May 2nd, few Cubans have been intercepted at sea. We cannot know
how many lives have been saved by the deterrent effect of this
policy. But consider this: in May of last year, some 700 Cubans
were picked up and many others were lost at sea. Our new policy
can help to avoid uncontrolled migration and it's already saving
lives.
At the same time, we are making every effort to
protect those at risk in Cuba. We will not return rafters who we
believe would suffer reprisals back in Cuba. The U.S. Interests
Section in Havana is carefully monitoring those sent home,
visiting each of them individually to ensure they are not
harassed. And, thanks to our legal migration programs, over
15,000 Cubans have been approved to enter the United States since
September 1994 as immigrants, parolees, and refugees - that is
three times more than in any previous year.
In short, the actions we took address the serious
humanitarian problem at Guantanamo, deter illegal and unsafe
migration, protect political refugees and expand opportunities for
legal admission from Cuba. They serve our national interests.
Regularizing Cuban migration also helps our efforts
to promote a peaceful transition to democracy on the island. For
too long, Castro has used the threat of uncontrolled migration to
distract us from this fundamental obejective. With the steps I
have taken, we are now able to devote ourselves fully to our real,
long-term goal.
,
>
�-3-
Our pol.icy·is rooted in the Cuban Democracy Act,
which I endorsed some three years ago and which subsequently was
passed the Congress with bipartisan support. Consistent with the
Act, the United Stateis will maintain the economic embargo against
the Cuban regime. This is an important way to promote change in
Cuba, and it will remain in place until we see far-reaching
political and economic reform. - As provided in the Act, if Cuba
takes steps in the direction of meaningful changes, we are
prepared to respond with our own carefully calibrated response.
The Cuban Democracy Act also calls on us to support
the Cuban people in their struggle for democracy and economic
well-being. We believe that reach out today will nurture and
strengthen the fledgling civil society that will be the backbone
of tomorrow's democratic Cuba. We will continue to help Cuba's
democratic opposition, and the churches, human rights
organizations, and others seeking to exercise the political and
economic rights that should belong to all Cubans.
Throughout the Americas, dictatorships have given
way to democracy. They are following the path of reconciliation
and forgiveness preached by Cuba's first Cardinal, Jaime Ortega,
during his recent visit here to the United States. Cuba will
follow this course of its neighbors. With the support of the
American people and their representatives in Congress, we can move
toward our common goal of a peaceful transition to democracy in
Cuba. I hope that it will be my privilege as President to welcome
a free Cuba back into the community of democratic nations.

Dear Mr. President:
I am writing to express my very deep concern over our
government's policy towards Cuba and current efforts in the
Congress to make that policy more restrictive. It is my view
that our policy is outdated and is only serving to prolong the
reign of Fidel Castro.
While I do not question the lofty motives of those in the
Administration and those in the Congress who seek to tighten
economic and diplomatic sanctions against Cuba, I do question the
wisdom and effectiveness of such moves.
we have tried for over three decades to force Mr. Castro from
power by maintaining a tight economic embargo on his country.
But, that embargo has failed to hasten Castro's departure and has
failed to fuel the type of internal pressures to advance the
democratic reforms that so many of us want to see.
Instead, the embargo has encouraged and strengthened the
sentiments of nationalism in Cuba, provoked an increase in
immigration to the United States -- and it has provided Mr.
Castro with the perfect excuse to justify the failures of his
system.
I strongly support members of the Cuban exile community here
in the United States who have courageously and steadfastly
reminded the world of Mr. Castro's atrocious record on human
rights. And I have joined with them on many occasions
petitioning the Cuban government on behalf of political prisoners
and to urge a greater respect for human rights.
The u.s. state Department's current human rights report and
the 1995 Human Rights Watch Report document quite clearly the
severity of the human rights situation in Cuba. From systematic
harassment of political dissidents to arbitrary arrests -- the
Cuban people continue to suffer.
�Letter to President Clinton
page 2
But other than congressional letters and moral appeals, we
have little power to monitor, investigate or influence the human
rights situation because we have almost no formal communications
with the Cuban government.
Proponents of a more hard line policy towards Cuba have
argued that more sanctions and more saber-rattling will produce
the necessary chaos to force Castro's retirement and thereby fix
all that's wrong about Cuba.
But, the way I see it, more chaos
is not what Cuba or its people need.
Chaos, turmoil or civil war will not necessarily mean
democracy, better respect for human rights or freedom for Cuba.
More chaos could mean bloodshed; it could mean strengthening
Castro; it could mean replacing him with a dictator on the right;
or it could mean more refugees fleeing the island for the United
states.
The late President Nixon, in his last book, wrote, "The plain
fact is that ... the hard line against (Mr. Castro) has failed to
get rid of him." The best hope for doing that, he added, is "to
build pressure from within by actively stimulating Cuba's
contacts with the free world."
I believe our former President was exactly right.
The best way for us to push for democratic reforms and impact
the human rights situation in Cuba is through negotiations and
economic relations.
It is not by continuing a policy that has
not worked for over 30 years.
It is my view that democratic transitional government and
democratic elections will more likely occur if the United States
exposes Cubans to the id$as of democracy and free trade.
Past history has demonstrated that the most efficient road to
democracy is exposure not isolation. A perfect example of this
is the former Soviet Union -- in which individual contact through
academic exchange programs, relaxed travel restrictions and free
trade promoted a legitimate democratic movement.
In addition, ultimately easing trade restrictions with Cuba
will provide numerous opportunities for businesses -- from
Massachusetts to California -- to expand trade, increase their
profits and create jobs.
Currently, some of our closest allies,
including Israel, Spain, Canada and Japan have active business
and trade operations with Cuba -- while U.S. businesses, only 90
miles away, are limited to exploratory missions.
�Letter to President Clinton
page 3
If current efforts to tighten the trade restrictions are
enacted in this Congress, the U.S. business community will
continue to be at a disadvantage in a country that is at our
doorstep. studies have shown that close to $2 billion could be
gained in U.S. exports to Cuba. In addition, Cuba has an
untapped market of 11 million people, as well as a highly
educated work force that could easily adapt to U.S. product and
service industries.
I would respectfully suggest that the Administration begin
the process of exploring an alternative to our current Cuban
policy and commence formal negotiations with the Cuban government
aimed at normalizing relations. I believe, at this late date,
such a course makes the most sense for the Cuban people and for
the United states.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
�

:~:.:.:,
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
cc:
The Honorable Warren Christopher
Mr. Richard Newcombe
