Those of you who are interested in restoring travel and educational exchange with Cuba will find Changing Cuba Policy in the United States National Interest-Staff Trip Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations United States Senate to be of interest. In this report, Senator Richard Lugar, Ranking Member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, calls for “easing restrictions on travel for family visits, people-to-people educational activities, academic educational activities (including for secondary schools), and participation in amateur or semi-professional sports competitions.”[1]
