               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
     CHAPTER 69A--CUBAN LIBERTY AND DEMOCRATIC SOLIDARITY (LIBERTAD)
 
 SUBCHAPTER I--STRENGTHENING INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS AGAINST THE CASTRO 
                               GOVERNMENT
 
Sec. 6031. Statement of policy

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
        (1) the acts of the Castro government, including its massive, 
    systematic, and extraordinary violations of human rights, are a 
    threat to international peace;
        (2) the President should advocate, and should instruct the 
    United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations to 
    propose and seek within the Security Council, a mandatory 
    international embargo against the totalitarian Cuban Government 
    pursuant to chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, 
    employing efforts similar to consultations conducted by United 
    States representatives with respect to Haiti;
        (3) any resumption of efforts by any independent state of the 
    former Soviet Union to make operational any nuclear facilities in 
    Cuba, and any continuation of intelligence activities by such a 
    state from Cuba that are targeted at the United States and its 
    citizens will have a detrimental impact on United States assistance 
    to such state; and
        (4) in view of the threat to the national security posed by the 
    operation of any nuclear facility, and the Castro government's 
    continuing blackmail to unleash another wave of Cuban refugees 
    fleeing from Castro's oppression, most of whom find their way to 
    United States shores, further depleting limited humanitarian and 
    other resources of the United States, the President should do all in 
    his power to make it clear to the Cuban Government that--
            (A) the completion and operation of any nuclear power 
        facility, or
            (B) any further political manipulation of the desire of 
        Cubans to escape that results in mass migration to the United 
        States,

    will be considered an act of aggression which will be met with an 
    appropriate response in order to maintain the security of the 
    national borders of the United States and the health and safety of 
    the American people.
