Dear Mr. Ryan:
This is in response to ~our let~er ~f January~, 1996~
suppl&m&nting your earlier application for a license 1n
conjunction with the sponsorship of a conference in Cuba called
uThe United states and Cuba: A New England Perspective. 0
Following a meeting between you and others and representatives of
the Department of state and the Office of Foreign Assets Control
on Friday DeeambQr 22, 1995, you provided additional information
concerning the purpose of the eonference as well as a list of all
u.s. participants. 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

the ,11bility to carry out the activity in Cuba as proposed.''
