Notes
- Abstract:
- Press release issued by Smathers in response to Fidel Castro's statement that anyone who desired to leave Cuba would be allowed to do so. This is the beginning of "Freedom Flights" program, or the second wave of exiles. Smathers emphasizes that the United States must keep with her traditions and open her doors to those fleeing tyranny and oppression, while also commenting that this is a problem to be shouldered by the nation and the entire free world -- not just Miami. He emphasizes that cost especially should be covered by the federal government. The document reveals the perception of Cuban exiles through the lens of U.S. values, such as anti-communism, freedom, and democracy. (English) ( ,, )
