this debate would be interesting, and the gentleman who just spoke his remarks would have resonance if we were not dealing with a first degree murderer. In 1974, at a seminar in Virginia, a former ambassador, now long gone to heaven, told me that Castro personally executed in the parking lot of a movie theater with gunshots, himself pulling the trigger, the young man who had beaten him for student union president in the late forties. I could not believe my ears. I checked it out with the State Department, Library of Congress. It appears to be a fact. Again, he has killed people in cold blooded murder. I am just back from Bosnia. I do not care what the Europeans do. They traded with Haiphong while we were dying for freedom in all of Southeast Asia. I do not care what anybody does. Our country has to do what is right, and Castro is a first degree murderer. If we want to hand him a baseball bat like Dan Rather of CBS and an elite party in Manhattan, then you are an accessory in encouraging this first degree murderer. He has ordered people beaten to death with baseball bats. What an absurd debate.
