Dear Friends:
Congress spent a month spinning itself into a frenzy over the crisis at the southern
border of the U.S.
But, after weeks of photo ops, accusations that the Obama Administration created
the crisis and failed to stop it, and shameful efforts to marginalize the children
who fled poverty and violence in order to get here, nothing happened.
The least productive Congress [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wXyB97WaPYICSPdJGaT8RNbsyPcde1yyP_ZrK0sQ9L-5Eax4pj4sTLezKEj7OCx5mOsOEpD_PcOt2Yz1Jvj2omJgVEqSmd0KJVdSy6OMWuTaJ7iDMHcMX3wD89tvGiGdxanVkYHmBr5pHm49PWZPjiXs6AbFJhjjoHMM0NqmwPsceDsUbwqIWI4RL2asvByfI0aEMN03Zahmxn8m-JvmUsiSmDTsI87gzpgGcvmIpKZF18L2QpTnLsDaTqQXofoQVY86nSXW3QKyaLnERtgwF3-4MnlsA0_e_U_kuXaT8ng9q_Ke8xLLHCYHTQGtx0ocKtAJ6NW8ecO0VRm9TTTj93wvHidvAUGR9mi31HI4aUdZJhgIRaEYNlvsZLSkYTcv30lecoKONaIPh82ZzJxp111YRdbIM7Wd&c=N3FqlpBFCf4X7DSHn69Nyoo0oLT-cQjdC8RHQI7Z5-dyj1EOzgq0Hw==&ch=ybGdWujLqYInJWutuJO86SFredxaP3lxLzYKkOnyCruZqwo1bcyMtg==]
in modern history has spun itself into a ditch. It has made the migration crisis
so dire and so toxic that even punitive legislation to fix it became too hot to
handle. Backed up against their own deadline for the August recess, neither the
House nor the Senate could find enough votes to pass even band aid-sized fixes
to a greater than tourniquet-sized problem.
As of this publication, the House leadership is considering how to press forward

on travel, negotiating with Cuba, and other issues, reminded President Obama in
May, "Timing matters and this window of opportunity may not remain open indefinitely."
What could close the window? U.S. politics, as bad as it is, is likely to get worse.
There are just ninety-five days until the midterm elections take place; 156 days
until the new Congress is seated.
What happens if today's gridlocked Congress gives way to a 114th Session of Congress
dominated by one party, as even non-partisan pundits [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wXyB97WaPYICSPdJGaT8RNbsyPcde1yyP_ZrK0sQ9L-5Eax4pj4sTLezKEj7OCx5T73sxIFx4VMXnrNONg816wmMg0f0pte2mkzyprXe776QVb7Z4aq-4x482XVlggDj5BcPBrqc0Gcn7R81ZTg5OYM9H7ly9nwE_BW_zXxApDJuUudLMljoUgbiqRnd3Af0YA3-wNzaY8R_9uv_FvFNGkpXL8XyjfdbJfAHWjf7xC1PSaK4GgrAcXG0a_qwsha6ycgYioLLfTz7EJITR0M4wc5A9j0Ur8cE73ifV44sFxDj7uoxGjkGNWZOWxQms_CjbHCLY76_VVc9r1R6N6X5FNy2tyYKKOAk_ccdwMp9923QZl1plQJ_RmB1DmInv4-XukYlCvBvPgk=&c=N3FqlpBFCf4X7DSHn69Nyoo0oLT-cQjdC8RHQI7Z5-dyj1EOzgq0Hw==&ch=ybGdWujLqYInJWutuJO86SFredxaP3lxLzYKkOnyCruZqwo1bcyMtg==]
predict today, and it takes on President Obama aggressively as he ends his term
and the parties nominate candidates to replace him? Does the window close and,
if so, what happens to the hope for executive action then?
What happens if Charlie Crist, candidate for Governor in Florida, who has come out
as anti-embargo and considered traveling to Cuba, is defeated in November by incumbent
Governor Rick Scott in what is then interpreted as a referendum on Cuba policy reform?
What happens then?
What happens as policy changes that take long lead times - for example, solving
the problem of a hemispheric boycott of the Summit of the Americas by inviting Cuba
to participate - are eclipsed due to the passage of time? What happens then?
What happens if Alan Gross's physical health and mental state are as precarious
as his legal team indicates? If his condition deteriorates further, what happens
then?
What happens if there is an abrupt change in the political structure in Cuba given
the advanced ages of its senior leadership? How could the window stay open then?
The President's authority to take significant actions that reform Cuba policy, that
free Alan Gross, whose imprisonment remains the chief obstacle to warming relations,
and that speed the U.S. toward normalization, is greater than most people realize.
Once the Supreme Court acts, perhaps later this year, on a case with implications
for the foreign policy powers [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wXyB97WaPYICSPdJGaT8RNbsyPcde1yyP_ZrK0sQ9L-5Eax4pj4sTLezKEj7OCx5DQiRFAfmTxxgDTk2bb4-4I7I-Qb1fAIyaKWrJUw0GQk2untX0jJMjg0hXQNmybc59PAjiY-sZ3rbBlrGSFvvXcca9H3rbivCfoLCIJYi1XQcdOOK-_pwzedAYbQfx_yUyi9gQmJdKWHv4oHdO4HeVgXilJMhI0SGb1418oP2T76XTrwZBFRrSob1ziOigsXUulBLGh7vjHtrCTmOD541LXyalV0fRHNSqjiiPX342yg973TsZKvtg4gsh8WyhaM5hWzR02GuGAXCNVjp470owb6n2LecUIJ8MX8VO-b8LtyQNu_8ok1NMAmD-L1jl6dAnrcVwBvImQc=&c=N3FqlpBFCf4X7DSHn69Nyoo0oLT-cQjdC8RHQI7Z5-dyj1EOzgq0Hw==&ch=ybGdWujLqYInJWutuJO86SFredxaP3lxLzYKkOnyCruZqwo1bcyMtg==]
of the presidency, the extent of his authority to make really big changes in U.S.
- Cuba relations could grow larger still.
However, it is not the President's power but his willingness to use it, given the
political space he has and the time constraints that face him, which is pivotal
now. What also matters deeply - and we're told, may matter more than many of us
know - is whether the government in Havana understands just how close we are to
the window of opportunity slamming shut.
President Obama's actions in his first term to expand travel for Cuban families
and people-to-people exchanges - described as modest here and disregarded as domestic
politics by some in Cuba - continue to provide big benefits. But, he can and should
do a lot more.
To get there, it is President Obama and not Congress who must drive policy. But,
he should start revving the engine now before it is too late.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated her position that the U.S.
should lift the embargo on Cuba in an interview with Jorge Ramos for Fusion TV [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wXyB97WaPYICSPdJGaT8RNbsyPcde1yyP_ZrK0sQ9L-5Eax4pj4sTLezKEj7OCx5iB7nHtE0m-Bc9CYC6niC4aKkuLHcB7_gxDyCeidhjDDCQHFxrF1X-GvL1VgYxG7K9-3RNRcVZK7B2dcOldW_SKBp2K1n0HhbTrpmKkEX0lKS7dPAOHeFJssz2jYRHK_etS8r4hKi9FWgLz2fgPW0RNwWTF2TB7PMMAAzliMgCQWzzXhITiPaNmKJ59PMGDf3D3L_5laH9tYVKJ-B5r25R1pc_Gw1xgvKeKv2JaQ9TBdVkwmnaxpyiTkYQZq9D6X4CnNvuoDZ0jXtusY5J-Jy_uXV8o7RYOWZYE_2xqwr9lvAV2OtqgYVE2PKHh1gJoAqXpvxBe033bEi-qj_RQejkwcQkFAJW63U1FzThyVEAm0=&c=N3FqlpBFCf4X7DSHn69Nyoo0oLT-cQjdC8RHQI7Z5-dyj1EOzgq0Hw==&ch=ybGdWujLqYInJWutuJO86SFredxaP3lxLzYKkOnyCruZqwo1bcyMtg==].
In response to the question of whether she thought the U.S. should end the embargo,
she said:
"Yes, I would like to see that. I advocate that in my book, because I think it's
been a failure, and I think it has propped up the Castros, because they can blame
everything on the embargo. You don't have freedom of speech, you don't have freedom
of expression, you know, you're still having political prisoners; everything is
blamed on the embargo. I would like to see us move toward normalizing relations
eventually. And therefore more Americans [going] back and forth. That's something
President Obama did and I supported. ... We do have our own political prisoner in
Cuba, Alan Gross, a man who has been thrown into prison and not being given a chance
to come home to his family. So I would like to see that resolved, and I would like
to see us move toward ending the embargo and trying to, by our example, by commerce,
by all kinds of visits, you know, help the Cuban people have a different future."
When asked if she was interested in a "Nixon moment" going to Cuba, she said, "You
know, someday I'd like to go to Cuba. I would, someday. Yes."

excluded Cuba, and according to a Washington official interviewed by the Miami

reports. The report said that Cuba's Office of Religious Affairs continues to regulate
all forms of religious activity, and that religious groups must apply to the Ministry
of Justice for authorization. The report also mentioned the repeated detentions
of members of the dissident group Ladies in White while they march to and from Mass
on Sundays.
The report also noted that:
"Most established religious groups, however, reported an increased ability of their
members to meet, worship, travel abroad, recruit new members, and conduct charitable,
educational and community service projects. They also reported fewer restrictions
on religious expression and the importation of religious materials."

This collection of documentation on slavery in the sugar-producing region of Matanzas
has recently been digitized. Many of the documents, which contain "demographic statistics,
information on ethnicity, resistance, occupations, property, economy of free and
enslaved Africans," were considered endangered, as they had not previously been
protected from Cuba's humid climate. Through this digitization project, local staff
learned different components of the archival process. This page contains 400 pictures
of different documents.
