No More Cuba Boondoggles

From The Washington Times:

Congresswoman says curbs on travel to Cuba ignored

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Florida Republican, said limits on travel to Cuba are being violated and she wants the Obama administration to crack down.

The chairwoman of the House Foreign Relations Committee is pressing the Obama administration to enforce U.S. laws limiting tourist trips to Cuba, after discovering that a Louisiana travel agency is promoting trips to the communist-ruled island.

"Not only is the Obama administration easing sanctions on the Cuban regime, but it would appear they are also ignoring the regulations in place," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Florida Republican, said this week.

Mrs. Ros-Lehtinen, a Cuban-American, said that both public and private organizations are misrepresenting recent changes to Cuban sanctions by the White House.

She called on the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the agency in charge of economic sanctions, to "strictly enforce U.S. regulations on travel to Cuba and duly impose the corresponding penalties."
