 TO MAKE IT A TOP PRIORITY TO EXTRADITE WILLIAM MORALES TO THE UNITED 
                           STATES IMMEDIATELY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETER T. KING

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 12, 2015

  Mr. KING of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my 
opposition to the actions taken by the Obama Administration in December 
to re-establish relations with Cuba. Among other reasons, Castro's Cuba 
has been entirely uncooperative with the United States by providing 
safe harbor to numerous American fugitives, with offenses ranging from 
hijacking to murder.
  One of the most notable fugitives hiding out in Cuba is the known 
terrorist William Morales. Morales was a leader of the terrorist 
organization FALN, which has committed numerous terrorist attacks on 
United States soil, including the 1975 bombing of Fraunces Tavern in 
lower Manhattan. This attack killed 4 and injured more than 60 others.
  I urge the Administration to reevaluate its stance towards Cuba and 
make it a top priority to extradite William Morales and other fugitives 
evading justice in Cuba to the United States immediately.
