Dear Dan,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding the United States relationship with Cuba. I appreciate you taking the time to contact me on this important matter.
I have cosponsored H.R. 287, the Fighting Oppression Until the Reign of Castro Ends (FORCE) Act. If enacted, this bill would prohibit the removal of Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism until Cuba satisfies certain conditions. Specifically, the bill requires Cuba to release all its political prisoners and transition away from the Castro regime to a system that guarantees the rights of the Cuban people to express themselves politically and hold free and fair elections. These are the same requirements that must be met for the Cuban Embargo to be lifted. This bill has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, of which I am a member, where I am hopeful it will be considered soon.
Moving forward, I encourage you to stay connected to my office through my e- newsletter at https://steube.house.gov/ to receive regular updates from Washington, D.C. and by joining me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
