CUBA

The Committee fully supports the budget request of $7,000,000 for the Cuba democracy program and supports its goals of promoting democratization, respect for human rights, and the development of a free market economy in that country. When allocating these funds the Committee expects USAID to consider proposals at or through institutions of higher education in the United States and expects that competitive procedures will be followed with regard to such proposals.
