             HONORING THE COURAGEOUS MEN WHO FOUGHT IN CUBA

                                 ______


                        HON. ILEANA ROS-LEHTINEN

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 1994

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, April 17th marks the 33d anniversary 
of the gallant battle that thousands of courageous men fought, 
unsuccessfully, to liberate their fatherland against the most cruel 
tyranny that this continent has experienced.
  On April 17, 1961, Cuban patriots disembarked on the Bay of Pigs 
trying to put an end to the despotic rule of the man who has enslaved 
their people and has exported terrorism and revolution throughout the 
hemisphere.
  Mr. Speaker, the desire for liberty that moved these men is firmly 
rooted in the new generations of Cubans who maintain alive the hope of 
seeing the fatherland of Jose Marti finally free.
