This bill is not about the trade embargo. It is not about economic sanctions. It is about Russian espionage. It is about protecting U.S. national security. It helps prevent the theft of political diplomatic and commercial secrets. It…

The rescheduling has started since the breakup of the Soviet Union. The Clinton administration has been rescheduling the debt time and time again with no protection for the U.S. taxpayers.

I believe that if the gentleman reads the bill, it is very clear. We are talking about the threat that is posed by the Russian listening post in Cuba. It happens to be stationed in Cuba. It could be stationed anywhere else. It is a threat…

These examples of the Cuban dictatorship's cruelties are grave and numerous. Other countries may wish to ignore them. However, the U.S. Congress cannot and indeed we must not.

The prisoner of conscience Marta Beatriz Roque, who was sentenced by Castro's kangaroo courts earlier this year after languishing for close to 2 years in a squalid jail cell for exercising her human rights and civil liberties, was severely…

A recent case is that of political activist and human rights dissidenter Nestor Rodriguez Lobaina, who was arbitrarily arrested again on July 11 of this year solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression.

While many may turn a blind eye to the reality that plagues the Cuban people, Amnesty International does not.

Luis Sabines has done a remarkable job promoting international trade and educating businesses, helping them to foster their growth.

Next year's Hemispheric Congress promises to continue the negotiations among American businesses, and to add on to the number of countries taking part in the negotiating, and promotion of trade between Latin American and the United States.

Luis Sabines has worked tirelessly and extensively with a variety of trade organizations and businesses in order to promote this year's Hemispheric Congress which, under his leadership and guidance, proved to be a resounding success.

I am delighted to congratulate Mr. Luis Sabines, President of the United States Latin American Chamber of Commerce (Camacol), for his devoted labor in establishing the annual Hemispheric Congress and for having been honorably elected to…

South Florida will forever remember the positive and lasting contributions of Commissioner Abe Resnick.

One of his achievements was the realization of the construction of a Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach that will forever serve as a shrine to all those who perished in that tragic period of human history.

Not forgetting those who continue suffering under Nazi repression, he joined the Resistance and bravely fought to defeat the Nazi regime.

Commissioner Resnick's life exemplifies the achievement of the American dream through hard work, perseverance and dedication.

Our courts of law and our legal system are the bedrock of our democracy and of our system of individual rights

With a commitment to the principles of the rule of law which makes this country the beacon of hope throughout the world, I cast my vote in favor of the resolution to undertake an impeachment inquiry of the conduct of the President of the…

With a commitment to the principles of the rule of law which makes this country the beacon of hope throughout the world, I cast my vote in favor of the four counts of impeachment of the conduct of the President of the United States

Would the gentleman please react to this new directive by Castro's thug, Mr. Robaina, who wants new regulations for foreign media?

I wish to add my support for this resolution honoring Chaim Herzog, former President of Israel and friend of America. When Chaim Herzog gave that tremendously moving speech at the United Nations, he was defending not only Israel, but…

I think we have a greater appreciation of Ambassador Eizenstat's patience now that we have undergone some of what he has been doing for the past months. And as Congressman Diaz-Balart so well pointed out, we are very distressed over the…

As a naturalized American who has benefited from multi-language instruction, I rise in support of the amendment.

I am optimistic that day is around the corner, and with the help of all the countries joining together, we will make that dream of freedom a reality for the enslaved people of Cuba.

Another thing, if I could, a naval blockade which would enable no supplies to get to Castro, if you could explain how that would work.

Reclaiming my time, the gentleman must understand that all the amendment says is that the Federal Government will cover these costs. There are countless programs that are now on the books, they sound really great, and all we say is, and…
