I think Mr. Duffy has changed his position on that, and in more recent testimony before the Committee on Appropriations felt that nobody was hearing it. I think whatever happens here today, I would hope we could join together. If we look at the kind of policies we had to deal with the Soviet Union and the East Bloc, it was a much more dynamic policy than the one we have executed here, and I think, for whatever reasons, was much more successful. I think we have to engage in a much more dynamic policy with Cuba to have an opportunity to have a united impact.
