“I want to thank those members from the Florida delegation, the gentlewoman from Florida [Mrs. Meek] and of course the gentleman from Florida [Mr. Diaz-Balart] and the gentlewoman from Florida [Ms. Ros-Lehtinen] and all the others that have come to this floor today and decided to speak out for freedom and speak out for those very values that our Founding Fathers fought for over 200 years ago, and now though the war for freedom is being waged right off our shores, less than 90 miles away from the United States of America. All I can say is this: As Mrs. Lincoln stated before, we have had Castro send a strong message. It is time for America to send a strong message to Fidel Castro and let him know that this will not be permitted to stand, let him know that we will not allow this senseless slaughter to stand, that we will not allow these murders of Americans to stand, flying in a Cessna airplane, being gunned down by a Soviet MiG.”
