            THE CUBAN LIBERTY AND DEMOCRATIC SOLIDARITY ACT

  (Mr. SOLOMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SOLOMON. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida [Mr. 
Diaz-Balart], a member of the Committee on Rules.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, could my colleagues imagine if during 
the Holocaust there had been a visit here by Hitler, and the press 
would have asked him ``Who designs your suits? What is your favorite 
sport in the Olympics?'' That is what we just saw during the visit by 
the Cuban tyrant, where some of our colleagues, as a matter of fact, 
met with him, and say now they are going to lead CODELS to go down 
there and lobby for the end of sanctions against him.
  Some businessmen met with Castro and are asking him, ``How many jobs 
can we transfer to your slave economy

to take away from American workers?'' That is the reality of this visit 
that we just saw, the pathetic visit we just saw.
  The answer of this House, and I want to thank the chairman of the 
Committee on Rules, as well as the leadership, for inserting in the 
bill that we are going to be discussing today, the answer of the 
American people and their representatives to the disgusting visit by 
the Cuban tyrant, is the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act. 
It is going to be passed again today, and it is the answer to this 
disgusting visit by the American people.
