On the recordJuly 23, 2002
I have to tell you, the question was asked earlier what has changed, and I rarely have changed my position on any issue over the last 8 years, but today I am going to change my position on this issue after careful research because the world has changed. It changed September 11, and we have to listen to our intelligence community and make informed decisions. Why should we be concerned? Well, the President has said those nations that harbor terrorists are terrorists and should be treated as such. We have concerns in our intelligence community about Cuba harboring terrorists. What about the proliferation, production, of biological weapons? We have information in our intelligence community that Cuba is up to no good. Mr. Chairman, this is not the time to try something new.
