Sen. Byron Dorgan: End the 'Failed' Cuba Embargo
Sen. Byron Dorgan: End the 'Failed' Cuba Embargo
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 3:03 PM
WASHINGTON -- Senators of both political parties say the ban on travel to Cuba has done little to undermine the Castro government and it is time to allow American visits to the island nation.
The lawmakers say they have the votes in both the House and Senate to end the ban that has effectively eliminated Cuba as a travel destination for most Americans for almost half a century.
North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan, one of the sponsors of the legislation, said the travel ban "is a failed policy that has failed for 50 years." Identical legislation has been introduced in the House.
President Barack Obama has called for a new strategy toward Cuba, and has already backed some rules changes making it easier for Cuban-Americans to visit their relatives on Cuba.
