Dems head to Cuba to explore 'greater cooperation'
Jan. 16, 2015 9.26am Pete Kasperowicz

Several House and Senate Democrats will travel to Cuba this weekend in order to discuss ways to enhance the U.S.-Cuba relationship, just hours after the Obama administration formally eased some trade and travel rules.

Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) is heading the delegation — Leahy was the one who arranged for sperm from a Cuban spy that the U.S. was holding to be exported to Panama to impregnate the spy’s wife. That spy was later released in a controversial deal that allowed the return of one U.S. intelligence agent from Cuba, plus Alan Gross, who was held for five years in Cuba.

Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) will also be on the trip, as will Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.).

“We want to explore opportunities for greater cooperation,” Leahy said Friday.

“We have all been to Cuba before, and we strongly support the President’s new direction for our policy toward Cuba,” Leahy said. “We are going this time to discuss our expectations, and the Cubans’ expectations, for the normalization of relations.”
