On the recordFebruary 27, 1996
I thank both of you. Again, we are going to be going down there this Friday, and I am looking forward to input from all the Florida delegation and also those who have suffered under Castro as we try to move the Committee on National Security, of which I am a member, to hold hearings, hopefully, field hearings down in Miami, down where the incident occurred, to see what happened and to come up with a strategy to make sure that such a disaster never happens again. We have no other choice. We must stand up to Castro. We must protect American lives, and we will do that. Freedom will come to Cuba, and we will win that fight because we have no other choice. We are Americans.
