Thank you so much, Mr. Curbelo. You are a fresh young voice, and I thank you and Mr. Mooney for being here tonight. Mr. Speaker I am so pleased to yield to a gentleman who understands what freedom is all about. He was one of the speech writers for our great President, Ronald Reagan. He is a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. In fact, he is the chairman of the Europe Subcommittee, and he is here tonight with one of his triplets, Christian, who wants to be an author and an inventor. I look at Christian, this new generation, and I think, what kind of life would he have under the communist tyranny of Cuba, as opposed to the freedom and democracy that we enjoy here? So with that, I am pleased as punch to yield to my good friend from California (Mr. Rohrabacher).
