California Democrat Sam Farr on Americans traveling to Cuba:
“If you are a potato, you can get to Cuba very easily, but if you are a person, you can’t, and that is our problem.”
Representative Farr is optimistic about the success of the Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act, which he believes will have enough votes in both the House and the Senate to pass by the end of the year. The bill would allow U.S. citizens resume travel to the Caribbean island except in times of war or cases in which they face imminent danger. The legislation is actively backed by the National Tour Association, the United States Tour Operators Association, and by think tanks and other groups like the Washington Office on Latin America.
Farr co-sponsors the legislation in the House, and says it has 181 votes in the House and needs 218 to pass. He is confident that he can get those final votes before year-end.
