The group of six Democrats and four Republicans, led by William Delahunt, D-Massachusetts and Jeff Flake, R-Arizona is intent on easing some of those economic sanctions.
Delahunt told Bloomberg News that the Congress will make small changes next year by passing legislation easing both restrictions on family travel and financial transfers to Cuba.
"I don't think the embargo will change in 2007, but the Bush administration may pre-empt Congress and approve these other changes before we can,'' Bloomberg reported that Delahunt said. Earlier this month Raul proposed talks with the U.S. to end the trade embargo, but that offer was rejected by the U.S. State Department.
Sure, now that RATS have taken congress there will be a big push to lift the embargo.
