“I yield myself 1 minute. The argument has been made that this debate is about limiting resources. Does anyone want to stand on the floor of this House of Representatives and tell anyone that they cannot go visit a dying member of their family because that is an appropriate limitation on resources? I have been down to Cuba and seen with my own eyes the suffering and injustice and misery under this oppressive regime. This government is treating their people terribly. One of the few things they have left in life, apart from their own faith and pride, is the support of our own family. No one, no one dares stand on the floor of this House today and answer the question, what do you tell somebody I represent or you represent when someone in their family is having a baby, is approaching death or may die and cannot go down to visit their own family because they were just there 2\1/2\ years ago. That is indefensible. It is unforgivable. This is not a debate about the embargo. This is a debate about whether we are going to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives and support families and support family values. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
