On the recordDecember 17, 2015
Thank you, Congressman Farr. Let me thank you for laying out much of the history and the rationale for what seems so simple, to normalize relations between our country and Cuba. And December 17 marks another milestone, and that is the release of our good friend, Alan Gross. He and Judy Gross, of course, are very excited about the forward agenda that we have here in Congress to lift the embargo and to lift the travel ban. Also, it is a day that we just want to say to Alan that a year later we are really pleased that he is home with his family. We salute Alan Gross, the people of Cuba, and our own government for making sure that this happened on December 17 of last year.
