 I would like to introduce to you the Republican candidate for the United States Senate in Florida, a great congressman and a fighter for liberty and freedom in the United States that has aroused around the world. Connie Mack. Jeb, thank you very much. First let me just say thanks to the President for not only making the trip to come down here and support me and my campaign, but also making the special effort to have a few moments to meet with you to listen to some of your concerns. As you know I started my campaign down in Key West Florida and I picked that spot because I wanted to make a very clear statement about the importance of freedom as an objective in our foreign policy and I did that because it's only 90 miles from the coast of Cuba and I wanted to make the point about the Cuban people living under the harsh and absolute domination of a communist tyrant. And so it is a great honor for me to be here today with the President of the United States. I would say the chief freedom fighter in the country today. Mr. President. Connie, thank you. Thank you very much. Well I'm very pleased to be here with Connie Mack who has been such a staunch fighter for everything that's good in Washington and I'm hoping that all of you will make sure that we get him back in Washington. Thank you, sir. And I'm very pleased to meet with all of you again. I have one thing that I would like to reiterate and namely that as far as this administration is concerned, the freedom of Cuba and Cubans is non-negotiable. The rumors in the, well in your community that there will be a thaw or a warming in our relations with Cuba are unwarranted and they're based on false beliefs that my administration is secretly plotting to become friends with Fidel Castro. Well he is responsible for continued human rights violations and for spreading war and terrorism throughout the world and Castro is not and never will be a friend of this administration. I've worked diligently to fight the spread of communism all over the world. As one example of our efforts against Castro's brand of communism we have founded Radio Marti and thanks to Connie Mack's commitment plans are now underway to establish TV Marti which will give Cubans a chance not only to hear from but also to see the free world. We've taken forceful actions in repelling Soviet and Cuban-backed forces in Nicaragua, Angola and other areas around the world. Communism as a form of government is a proven failure but my administration will not apologize for participating in talks that may bring peace to war-torn areas including Angola, a poor country that has been ravaged by fighting perpetuated by Castro. I wish for this region to be free and stable with peace and democracy there is an opportunity for growth. Two years ago we initiated a worldwide offensive against the human rights violations of political prisoners in Cuba. I appointed a brave Cuban-American, Armand Valladeros, as our ambassador to lead the United States delegation at the United Nations Human Rights Commission at Geneva, Switzerland. The ambassador Valladeros has been critically important in our effort to bring sanctions against communist Cuba for its human rights abuses. For the first time after our American representatives at that commission that we have tried to point to the violation of human rights going on in Cuba, this time with his leadership we succeeded and a UN commission has been appointed to go and examine for itself to see the violation of human rights in Cuba. We for two years ago we, well I think I've said about all I can say on that we're working hard to find ways to bring freedom seeking Cubans to the United States where they can start new and more productive lives and during the next several months I expect our programs will bring thousands of Cubans to our shores. This administration has been active in its opposition to the Soviet supported Marxist rule of Castro and as I said to many of you on May 20th Cuban Independence Day in the heart of the Americas the long night of totalitarian rule cannot endure forever so long live the dawn of freedom and Viva Cuba Libre. Dr. Gomez. President before everything I would like to say to us to discuss certain problems with our community. We thank also you for your statement because you have expressed in very precise terms that there is not any possibility of normalization of the relationship of the U.S. government with the Cuban government and that statement is very gratifying to all of us. We know Mr. President that you have been a great champion of freedom of democracy of human rights throughout the world. We know also that you have not been able to do in this connection all the things that perhaps you have in your mind but you have accepted and you have faced great difficulties to help the cause of freedom. I remember here in America for example in the Caribbean the case of Reynada in Central America Nicaragua and all the rest of the Latin American or the Central American countries that has been receiving substantial help from your government and for all these things Mr. President we admire, we respect you and we love you but I'm sorry to say that besides these things there are certain confusing elements in the foreign policy of the United States in regard to the case of Cuba. We know that these things do not come from you because we know very well your position but from other sources or circles of your government. I referred for example to certain cultural exchanges that have taken place recently to the granting of visas to some show people coming from Cuba who are in fact politically against the Cuban government and that has been going around the country spreading their communist propaganda to the recent immigration agreement to the exchange of natural technicians to the rumors of developing some commercial relationships and weakened the embargo against Cuba to some move to improve the communications between the two countries. These things I'm sorry to say Mr. President we feel that are a little confusing and give to the public the idea that the U.S. interested in increasing its friendly relationships with Cuba and eventually to normalize its relationship with that regime. We would like to hear your opinion in connection with these precise points so that we can convey your message and your ideas to our community who you know love you very much thank you very much thank you if I understand correctly I'm having a little trouble with a hearing aid here this morning if I understand you correctly though you did did you say that we had people coming into the United States who representing the Castro government and no I said Mr. President that recently has been granted to Tropicana the true pair of Tropicana and these people are in fact agents political agents of the government and they have been here in the United States and they have come to New York to Los Angeles and of course as political agents they have been spreading their political communist propaganda. The State Department have given visas to these true pay. Now I'm sorry I think I've got a battery failing here. Well I'm I guess I haven't paid much attention to that I'll look into what you just told me and if that's what is going on yes we'll take action and I shall look into it that's about the only answer that I can give you right now because you've told me something I was not aware of. Well we are very grateful for your attention Mr. President thank you very much. Alfonso Perez. Good afternoon Mr. President my name is Alfonso Perez and on behalf of the Cuban community I thank you sir Governor Martinez, Mr. Gutelus, the Republican Party and last but not least Congress Congressman Connie Mack with whom I serve as co-chairman in Dave Kehlany. Mr. President the issue that I wish to bring before your attention sir is the issue of the Orlando Bosch case. The case is a case that in the opinion and the consensus of this community is not a legal matter it's a diplomatic a political matter. The man has served for 11 years in a Venezuelan prison and been acquitted twice. I must tell you sir that as an attorney I find that incredible. He because it's not a legal case most respectfully sir it's a political case it is undoubtedly clear that the Cuban government has used Orlando Bosch as a pawn and is undoubtedly clear that should the immigration and naturalization service take the action which it has promised and that is deport Orlando Bosch on July 7th that is akin to signing his death warrant sir. Mr. Castro has already said that publicly and from reliable incredible sources I have materials here for your consideration if you would like specifically a defector from the Cuban government has publicly stated that if Orlando Bosch is deported from this country you'll be summarily killed and we implore of you to take action. I would be glad to have that additional information because I have knowing that this was of concern to people here I have some information with me that is a little counter to some of the things you said his re-entry into the United States was illegal but there isn't much that I can say about his situation because much of the information regarding his case is part of the ongoing legal proceeding and it's my understanding that the immigration and naturalization service is currently reviewing his case so I would appreciate having that and seeing that they get it but in any event I can tell you this he will not be removed from the United States without an opportunity for a full and fair hearing and a complete review of his case by the courts but I as I say I can't continue with some of the information that I have because of the legal ramifications of that and commenting publicers I'm sure you of the law could well understand thank you sir the other but I can assure you of that last that there will be a full and final hearing before any action is taken I thank you for that anyone else had a question I go I'm getting a signal that I guess I have to move on to the next event I was hoping that I could stay for some more some more questions well there'll be another time for that so I'll just take the congressman with me and when I go and I just desperately hope that very shortly you'll have to learn to call him senator town and liberated our country well mr. president there will be times in the years to come when there will be questions about the crossroads of America in the 1980s and we will respond that we will never forget that it was your policies that created this economic growth that was your policies that put 16 million people to work that was your policies that brought down inflation interest rates and unemployment mr. president we will never forget that it was your policy that strengthen America's defense so that you could go to the Soviet Union and negotiate from a position of strength liberated the people of Grenada that was your decision to raise Lydia to send the time we will never forget that you gave America back its faith and its product the core of all human progress ladies and gentlemen the president of the United States first in war, first in peace, last in the American League but next year, thanks to you, 1.3% yes Soviet crisis and the sinking of economy that's what the other fellows was all their service about compassion inflicted on the American people. The economy was called a stagflation. The Democrats termed it malaise. The liberal pundits that was part of America's inevitable decline. But we came in and said the only thing that was inevitable employment source and federal revenues actually increased. This should we expect that if the Democrats all but certain presidential candidate is elected that he would raise taxes. Yep, in fact he just did. Not only is he high taxes as governor of Massachusetts but in the last five years he has increased Massachusetts in America's small businesses. Senator, you fight for greater opportunity and prosperity for America. While American businesses, mostly small companies, were creating nearly 17 billion new jobs, Western Europe created none. Not one. Back in 1981 we passed a proved jobs bill. We favored the toughest of comprehensive drug enforcement policies including the death penalty when narcotics traffickers couldn't get murdered, the staunchly defendant of the Social Security System to ensure that it will be physically sound and available for Americans who worked so many years to earn its benefits. Yes, Connyman cares about the
