“this is a list put out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It lists the 74 United States citizens convicted of felonious crimes in the United States who are currently living in Cuba under the protection of the Castro regime. This list reads like a litany of the worst of the worst, hijacking an aircraft, piracy; and, of course, the highlight to me and the most regrettable is a woman by the name of Joanne Chesimard, who murdered in cold blood a New Jersey State Trooper and has been on the lam and really in the sanctuary of Cuba. There are those in this body, I know, who take different sides on how we deal with Cuba, whether it is trade or travel. This has nothing to do with any of those, in my opinion. We know that Cuba has been a haven and a sanctuary for terrorists. We know that people like Joanne Chesimard are living comfortably, while the family of that New Jersey State Trooper who was murdered two decades ago, three decades ago I should say, are still living with the agony and the pain of losing their loved one. We know that people like Guillermo Morales, who was part of the FILN who terrorized this country for many years, is living in Cuba. This is a story from the Washington Post a couple of years ago. Guillermo Morales is a fugitive on the run from the FBI, but at this particular moment he is sipping a cappuccino in a chic hotel lobby in Havana.…”
