Travel to Cuba: Hearing Before the Subcommittees on Economic Policy, Trade, and Environment, Western Hemispheres, and International Operations of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, November 18, 1993 The subcommittees met, pursuant to call, at 2 p.m. in room 2318, Raybum House Office Building, Hon. Robert G.Torricelli (chairman of the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs) presiding. Mr, Torricelli. The committee will please come to order. Today three subcommittees of the House Foreign Affairs Committee come together for a joint hearing to review U.S. policy toward Cuba on what is the first anniversary of the passage and signature of the Cuban Democracy Act. It is our intention today to receive testimony on the impact of the Cuban Democracy Act on the people of Cuba, political changes that may or may not have resulted on the island and review with the administration the implementation of the act and regulations that have been promulgated as a result and the policy of the administration as a result. It was of course the original intention of the Cuban Democracy Act both to provide incentives to the Government of Cuba to begin the long-awaited, inevitable process of democratization and isolate the Castro dictatorship and to promote communication with the people of the island in the hope they could experience a revolution in democratic expectations taking place around the world. We are grateful for the witnesses who are participating today in this process of review and for my colleagues who are participating today as well. At this time, I yield to Mr. Gejdenson for any comments he would like to make in co-hosting today's hearing. Mr. Gejdenson. Thank you. I think it is clear that there is unanimity in this country and that Cuba ought to have democracy and have it quickly.
