“there can be no compromise in dealing with Fidel Castro. We must make sure that the Helms-Burton Cuban liberty bill passes as soon as possible so we can tighten the embargo on Cuba. We can have no sympathy for those who would be inconvenienced because they choose to make a profit over conscience. We must penalize those who would traffic in stolen American property. If the Helms- Burton Cuban liberty bill is a violation of NAFTA as claimed by the Canadian Foreign Minister, maybe it is time for the United States to withdraw from that and any other organization that prevents the United States from pursuing its national interests. Mr. Speaker, we must demand the Castro's Cuba abide by international law that stipulates that a national air space be set at 12 miles. We must not allow Castro's armed thugs to grossly expand their national air space to the 24th parallel. We must make the Castro regime realize that any attack on civilian aircraft outside Cuba's 12 mile borders would be met with military force. To make this point clear, we should start by flying combat air patrols well south of the 24th parallel. Maybe we can teach Castro's armed thugs the same lesson that we taught Kadafi a few years back.”
