“I do support this resolution. I have had in the past, differences with my friend, the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Hamilton) on Cuba policy, and yet it is evident and it has always been evident that Lee Hamilton does not in any way condone or accept nor whitewash, nor much less support, any of the brutality that Castro has been responsible for and continues to be responsible for and has been for 40 years. Mr. Speaker, I think that this is an important resolution because basically what it does is that it restates the overwhelming support that the United States people, the American people and its representatives and the representatives in Congress have for the right of the Cuban people to be free. Without any doubt, those were extraordinarily hopeful days in January where the Cubans felt, since the eyes of the world were upon Cuba and that extraordinary figure of this century was present, that they could not be as easily brutalized during those days.”
