a video reached my office this week that shows scenes of meetings between senior U.S. military officers, including the head of the U.S. Atlantic Command, General Sheehan, and Cuban dictator Castro's senior general, Perez-Perez. The video reflects a private coziness of the Clinton administration with the Castro regime, not-so-subtle reassurances by the administration that the United States would not stand on the Cuban people's side if the Cuban armed forces sought to liberate Cuba from Castro. The tape also reflects, in all its sickening ignominy, the immorality of the Clinton administration's policy of forcefully repatriating Cuban refugees. I believe that a number of things that the video shows merit serious congressional inquiry, and if the U.S. military officers involved do not voluntarily meet with Members of Congress to explain themselves, as we have requested, they should be compelled to do so.
