for raoul castro's fist clearly remains clenched yet the president's hand is fully extended. he claims that those who don't agree with his cuba policy are stuck in the past but it is the castro regime that is stuck in the past. still living their misguided cold-war dreams in a world that hasn't insisted that they move forward. and when you own everything in the country, which is what the regime does, why are you willing to give it up after 50-some-odd years? instead, we are rewarding them for their intransigence. unless we challenge them, we will not see change. the fact is that hope and change do not come easily. they don't just happen. like any parent with a child, they won't change unless you challenge them and give them a reason, like congress needs to be challenged to change. cuba needs to be challenged to change or change will never come. to do so only strengthens their resolve to hold on to their dictatorship and prolong the day when we can truly say to the world, cuba is free. with that, mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. cornyn: mr. president? the presiding officer
