Our efforts include the fact that the conference registration form, which is signed by the participants, states clearly that this is a USG licensed project under the 515.574 Support for the Cuban People regulations. Each participant receives a copy of the license with a cautionary communication from us along with a copy of OFAC's "What You Need To Know About The U.S. Embargo" dated 10-23-95. During the flight from Miami to Havana on Jan. 16, Congressman Moakley and his staff along with Mike Ryan will review with all delegates the license rules. We have also asked Ambassador Sullivan's staff to review these issues during their briefing. As we plan to conduct additional such conferences in the future, we will continue our efforts to conduct this entire conference well within the spirit and the letter of the licen~e and guidelines as you have kindly explained them to us. During our meetings with Cuban NGO leaders and with Ambassador Sullivan this past week we made a studied effort to learn about and discuss practical ways and means of providing assistance to them through activities in the US that can be licensed. For example, we have offered to help organize a U.S.-based 11 501 (c) (3) 11 concillio Cubana entity that can enlist resources and �channel them to Cuba after obtaining the required Treasury Department licenses. Another good example is the possibility of assisting the Caritas organization by providing professional trainers who are capable of helping Caritas teach new small business owners how best to develop their organizations successfully and profitably. Our ongoing discussions with the conference registrants underscore the reality that as these U.S. public and private sector leaders learn first hand during the conference of the needs and "wish lists" of a multitude of Cuban-based NGOs; their willingness to provide Support for Cuban People will produce the resources your guidelines anticipate and that these individuals and organizations need to fulfill their mission. We genuinely appreciate all the efforts you and your colleagues have made to direct and guide us during this process. If additional information would be helpful to your consideration, please call. As agreed, should the conference license be issued we will report in person immediately after our return and also submit a written report on the Conference and our plans for follow up. cc: Mr . .

My trip was hosted by the ABC Forum on Cuba, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating US citizens on issues related to Cuba and to supporting the activities of NGO's promoting human rights and helping the Cuban people. Our delegation consisted of 23 participants ranging from business leaders to NGO's like the Boston-based Oxfam America. I met with a variety of people while in Cuba -- including top Cuban government officials, church leaders, dissidents, NGO's, foreign diplomats, US officials. I even had the chance to visit a small group of farmers who are working with Oxfam on a project to increase agriculture production for sale on the open market. These farmers and all the ordinary people I had the chance to meet, were excited to talk with our delegation and candid about their hopes for closer ties with people in the United States. In addition, my aide Jim McGovern and I had a 2 hour private meeting with Cuban President Fidel Castro. Afterwhich, the Cuban leader met with our entire group for another 2 hour session. I told President Castro that we are at a crossroads in terms of USCuba relations. The United States Congress is nearing final action on the so-called Helms-Burton Bill which, if signed into Joe Moakley, U.S. House of Representatives, Room 235, Cannon Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515, 202-225-7300 ~ · �Moakley release page 2 law, will strengthen the current economic embargo and end any possibility for improved relations anytime in the near future. I told President Castro that there must be more movement in Cuba with regard to human rights and economic reforms -- and urged him to act now. He seemed responsive and pledged to give my request very serious and immediate consideration. We also had an excellent meeting with Jamie Cardinal Ortega the Roman Catholic Cardinal in Cuba. His Eminence told us that the official position of the Catholic Bishops was against the US embargo for humanitarian reasons. He also was very clear about his continued concerns regarding human rights abuses that currently exist in Cuba. On a related matter, I raised with the Cuban leadership my hope that they would invite Pope John Paul II to visit Cuba during his visit to the Caribbean later this year. My trip began and ended with important meetings with Cuban dissident groups. While these people suggested that the difficulties in Cuba run much deeper than the economic hardships, a majority of those we met expressed opposition to the HelmsBurton legislation. One of the things that stunned me the most about my trip is the explosion of independent entrepreneurship. There are roughly 208,000 independent family businesses operating in Cuba. This entrepreneurship is allowing people greater personal freedom from government controls. When people are no longer dependent on the government for their jobs, they are freer from economic coercion. I got the sense that the Cuban government recognizes that these small businesses are necessary for the country's economic viability and are accepting the political space that they create. In fact, Caritas (a Catholic charitable organization in Havana) described its plans to establish training programs to help these fledgling businesses succeed. Michael Ryan, President of ABC Forum on Cuba, which organized the trip said: "It was great to see our group get excited about helping support the Cuban people, particularly in their efforts to form small businesses and independent NGOs. A number of our participants expressed a real desire to support these efforts after we concluded our trip." The European Union is about to hold talks with the Cubans on closer economic ties -- and is using this opportunity to urge the Cuban government to improve its human rights record. The United States could have ten times more leverage with Cuba than the �Moakley release page 3 Europeans if we got serious about improving relations. Right now the embargo leaves us completely out of the picture. I'm afraid if we let Helms-Burton become law, we will lose an important opportunity to improve the situation in Cuba. Of all the meetings I had, there was consensus on one thing -- that the future of Cuba will be decided by Cubans on the island. The degree to which we can encourage positive change will depend on whether or not we defeat Helms-Burton. -30- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I hope it is not true that you brought businessmen along with you. It was my understanding that your trip was to focus on the human rights situation in Cuba, and I don' t see the point in taking businesspeople along to discuss human rights. The law states that travel to Cuba is only authoriz.ed for certain groups of people, such as journalists and people engaged in humanitarian activities. Business people are not among them. Further, as you know~ we just recently passed HR 927, which will clamp down on business activity in Cuba even harder. Joe, I know that you would not willingly flout the law or even a forthcoming law. But I hope that you have not been sucked in by business interests or left-wing efforts to let up the pressure on Castro. I would appreciate a chance to discuss this matter with in the near future. - -- - - -- -- - - -- - - -- -- - -- GASLIGHT SOUARE SARATOGA SPRINGS.

In addition, you provided a list of Cuban organizations that you intand to meet with in Cuba during the advance trip, now planned for January 7 through 3~nuary 11. section 515.574 of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 c.F.R. Part 515 ( the "Regulations"), is intended to authorize transactions that will provide support fo~ the Cuban people by strengthening and fostering civil society and promoting independent activity. You have indicated that the conference objectives are consistent with the purpose of S 515.574. For this reason, we have determined to license the advance trip. A final decision on the authorization of the conference itself will depend on the outcome of your advance trip. Upon your return and baS8d on the advance trip, please submit additional information about the conference and about how you believe it can help promote civil society in Cuba. You should bear in mind two important considerations in this respect: first, participation by Cuban organizations such as those you describe in your letter of 3anuary 2, 1996, is essential. second, it is important that each U.S. participant understand the specific purpose of the conference, not regard it as an opportunity to engage in business discussions which are not contemplated by the Regulations, and be able to demonstrate his or her philanthropic interest as a potential sponsor of licensable activities. We would call to your attention the Administration 1 s guidelines on support for the Cuban People (enclosed), particularly the section on applicants• capabilities and accountability. This ~eetion states, "(A]n important factor in licensing determinations is the degree of assurance that the (United states Government] can have that the applicant has the wherewithal to ensure that the proposed activity will be carried out as described in the.license applica~ion and consistent with embargo regulations. Prior experience with the type of activity proposed and/or prior experience and familiarity with Cuba, while not an absolute requirement, do serve to indicate that the applicant has �Jan-06-96 07:21P Am Bus Council on Cuba (202) 543-517 7 2 the ,11bility to carry out the activity in Cuba as proposed.''

Attached is a_ three page overview on the Center For International Policy's Congressional Staff briefing visit to Cuba from January 8-12 , which involves 10 House and Senate Staff members (D & R) . The US-Cuba Foundation 1 directed by Gary Jarmin, is hosting a comparable tour in Cuba from January 5-11 for about 5 House GOP Staff members (as written ihformation becomes available on this 1 we wrll fax it to you). The information garnered by these Staff members may well impact the Congressional debate and considera~ion of HR 927. As you continue to brief Congressmen Moakley and Campbell this week about the January 16th Conference, please consider the possibilities for them to forge a new, bipartisan consensus on effective US policy for Cuba -- first within the House and then among Senators and leading Administration policy makers . Please consider how the Jan . 16th Conference dc~legation c~n be expanded a:nd strengthened prior to Jan. 11 . On Jan .. 19 about 11-11 :30 am when the delegation returns to the Miami Airport on a G1Jlfstream International Airline charter, could someone assist them with customs reentry? Prior to Thursday, Jan. 11, if there is any activity by the HR 927 or HR 1561 Conference Committees, or if any Congressional hearings are scheduled on Cuba related issues, could someone please fax a copy of the info to us in Havana? Attached is the Shaw-Pittman W1g.iwe1tch. C.ub.a which includes most of the Cuba issues. Another controversial one is the budget item funding Radio Marti's move from DC to Miami which was in the Commerce/Justice/State appropriation bill that the President vetoed .

Although passing its version of the Acr on October 19. 199S (se.e LegiWmth Cubei., October 20, 1995), the Senate did not appoint its conferees until mid• Gejdtoson (ct), TorricelH (Ni), and Menendea: (NJ). With Congress scheduled to be out of session for roost of the month of January. action by the Conference Committee i$ not expected until February. December. The delay stemmed from Democratic opposition to a separate foreign relations bill, S. 908 ("The Foreign Relations Revitalization Act of l 995"') and frustration over the lack of action in the Senate Foreign Relations Com."llittee on the approval of ambassad~ rial nownadons and mti.fication of pending treaties. On December 12, 1995, an agree~nt was reached between Republicans and Dem~ era.ts that cleared th~ way for passage of s. 908 and permitted action on notniMtions and treaties, and allowed the approval of conferees for the LIBERTAD Act. On December 14, 1995, the Senate ap_polnt~d sl!:ven conferees to consider the Act tosether with the nine con- f~s appointe.d by the House on November 7. 1995. The Scnatll Democratic filibuster and the bill's sponsors were unable t.o invoke (NC), Coverdell (GA), Snowe (ME), and Thompson (TN): and Democrars Pell (RI), Dodd (CT), and Robb (VA).

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE HOUSE ANC SENATE VSRSIONS OF THE ACT BEFORE THE CONF"ERENCE COMMIITEE The House and Senate versions of the Act that tht Conference Com. m.ittee will oetd to rece>ncile ditfe:r sub$ta..otially from each other. Most significant is the absence in the Se:nate version of .l Tide m (present in the House version) granting a right of action w U.S: courts to U.S. owners of property expropriated by Cuba against third country nationals ''trafficking'' In such property,, Title Ol was dropped from the Sena~ version amr opposition to it led [0 3 . cloture. Indications are that Title ID will be reinserted into the bill when r.b~ Cortference Coromittee ~nd$ it back to both houses of Congress for final passage. It is unclear whether a bill wiih such a prou- · sion would win approval irl 'the, ·.·' Si!natt. Another import.ant provision ptestnt (as Thle TV) in the House vers1on of the Act. but not in rhe Senate's, is the exclusion fTom rhe U.S. of aliem "trafficking" in the property expropriattd from U.S. citizens. Originally in the Senate version, this provision was dropped and inserted in S. 908. Under the agreement reached 011 December 12, 1995, however, the alien e.xduslon provision was re.moved from S. 908 as well. The provision in Title N of the House version au· thorizes the Sectetary of State to exclude .wy alien who be dt!t.e.r· m.lne$ has confiscated U.S. owned property or ''traffics" in confiscated U.S. property.

Other differences ~ II1ust be reconciled in confcrence are found throughout the Act. Some notable exampl~s are in the area.5 of indir~ financing of Cuba. foreign assistance to countries providing support fort.he nuclear power plant at Cienfuegos, and requirements for a transition and democratically elected govcm.ment in Cuba before U.S. assistance is aiven. Thus, for instance, the Senatt version impo.ses four rcquirellltnts for a trar1sitional government in Cuba before it . qualifies for U.S. mistance, whel'Ca$ the.House version coo.ta.iris hih~'~uirements. The Senate version requfres that a trMsitional government in Cuba: have legalized all political activ~ ityi release.d political prisoners; (fasolved the .Department of State s~cllrity; and committed to holding free and fair el~ctions within two y~. The House version includes additional requirements rongini &¢m extradition of individuals sousbc by the Department of Justice to the exclusion of Fidel or Raul Castr0 from a transitional government. The Senate and House versions of the Act also differ significantly in regard to requirements for a democratic.ally elected government: the Senate version outlines several non-binding fac[ors to bo taken ibto account in detertn.inin& whether a dcmoc::nnic government is in power in C1.1ba: The House version, on the other hand, defines seven $pecific requirements for a dexnocratically ele~ gov~t. including that it make demon- ~trable progress on addrcs$ing the expropriation claims by U.S. citi- strictions (H.R. 1254, 1700, and 1704), and those advocating a policy of~ trad¢ with Cuba following a change of government (S. zens. All of these differences must be resolved by the Coltference Committee, which will need to develop a Stmtegy as whether or not to include, or re-write, certain portions 146). Since some of these pending bills ate subsumed in the LIDERTAD Act, their fate of the bill (such as Title Ill) to in· sure passagt Ul the Senate': at\d to convinoe 60 Senators to vote for clotW'¢ on the conference bill. Sinee AcL If the Act p~ses and is signed by the President, it is likely that these bills will die in ci>mmittee. On the other hand, if LIBERTAD Title IV regarding the exclusion of alien.~ uafficking in propeny expropriated from U.S. nationals wa.~ never put to a vote in the Sefiate, it is unclear how the insertion of that provision would affect the outcome of a clorure motion. ·· OTHER CONGRESSION~L ACTION ON CUBA IN 1995 There were a number of bills con- cem.i.ni Cuba ~ides the UBERTAD Act that were intl'(), duccd in th¢ first session of the · 104th Congress, reflecting varyins Congressional opinions as to the bo!st course for U.S. policy toward may well dtpend on the outCOll'lC of the debate on the is defeated, there may be anempts to push through some of tht legis- • lariort that would implement por• tions of the Act.

Sec. 114: Hopelessly complicates the issue of redprocal news bureaus by insisting that Radio & 1V Marti be allowed to operate within Cuba without interference from the Cuban government. In effect makes U.S. once again responsible for blocking establishment of news bureaus.

This letter provides the infonnation requested to enable your office to issue the ABC Forum On Cuba, Inc. a license for an advance trip to make final arrangements for the January 16-19 conference called "The United States and Cuba: A New England Perspective." The objectives of the January 16-19 seminar are to: 1. educate and update participants about the latest developments in U.S.-Cuba relations, consider ways to encourage improvement in these relations and to promote the cause of peaceful, democratic change in Cuba; 2. identify specific ways participants can play a more active role in strengthening and fostering civil society in Cuba and increase significantly the flow of information to, from and within Cuba; 3. have substantive meetings with individuals and non-governmental organizations to identify the technical assistance, training, financial assistance and commodities that can be committed by US organizations to promote independent activity intended to strengthen civil society in Cuba; 4. engage in visits to locations where free market principles are at work to assess the extent of free market reforms and how best to encourage their consistent development; and �2 5. identify opportunities for the promotion of independent economic activities involving the self-employed, private farmers, young people interested in training to become entrepreneurs and others~ The latest, tentative list of conference participants includes: Peter C.

During this advance trip we will meet with officials of the U.S. Interest Section in Havana, officials from the Catholic Church, The Cuban Commission on Human Rights and National Reconciliation, Concilio Cubano, CARITAS, Oxfam, and with Cuban government officials. Our activities during this advance trip will be focused on finalizing arrangements for the January 16-19 Conference in accord with the Conference objectives set forth above and conducting an on-island assessment to develop specific proposals which support for the Cuban people. �3 During our advance trip, we will organize Conference panel discussions highlighting Oxfam America's partnership with Associacion Nacional de Agricutores Pequenos. We will also arrange meetings among management experts who participate in this Conference and fledgling Cuban business owners and between the Boston Globe's H.D.S. Greenway and independentjoumalists. These and related Conference discussions will promote the purposes of the Support for the Cuban People regulations. The resulting media exposure for the showcased activities will enlist additional active supporters. It is our short and long tenn goal to continue complying with US Government laws and regulations in order to increase support for the Cuban people, to promote civil society in Cuba and to encourage additional proponents of peaceful democratic change in Cuba. We believe that progress towards these goals can be achieved through dedicated educational efforts by organizations like the ABC Forum On Cuba, Inc. New advocates and activists can be effectively enlisted through seminars such as the one we propose from January 16-19. The tentative list of participants set forth above are precisely the quality and caliber of leaders and experts needed to stimulate private U.S. organizations to play a more active role in strengthening and fostering civil society in Cuba. The proposed Conference will educate the participants and observers, which will make it much easier for them to become active thereafter. If you require more infonnation to issue the license for our advance trip, please contact me at your earliest convenience at (202) 543-3210. We very much appreciate the advice and counsel you and your colleagues have provided us. Please let me know what additional information would be helpful to your collective deliberations concerning our request for a license for the January 16-19, 1996 Conference.

The resulting media exposure for the showcased activities will enlist additional active supporters. It is our short and long tenn goal to continue complying with US Government laws and regulations in order to increase support for the Cuban people, to promote civil society in Cuba and to encourage additional proponents of peaceful democratic change in Cuba. We believe that progress towards these goals can be achieved through dedicated educational efforts by organizations like the ABC Forum On Cuba, Inc. New advocates and activists can be effectively enlisted through seminars such as the one we propose from January 16-19. The tentative list of participants set forth above are precisely the quality and caliber of leaders and experts needed to stimulate private U.S. organizations to play a more active role in strengthening and fostering civil society in Cuba. The proposed Conference will educate the participants and observers, which will make it much easier for them to become active thereafter. If you require more infonnation to issue the license for our advance trip, please contact me at your earliest convenience at (202) 543-3210. We very much appreciate the advice and counsel you and your colleagues have provided us. Please let me know what additional information would be helpful to your collective deliberations concerning our request for a license for the January 16-19, 1996 Conference.
