U.S. Senator introduces bill that would put an end to anti-Cuba propaganda and repeal Cuba travel ban.

Yesterday, U.S. Senator Byron L. Dorgan (D-ND) introduced a bill in the U.S. Senate (S. 554) that would "stop providing Federal funding for TV Marti broadcasts into Cuba that are jammed and therefore are not watched by their intended recipients. This provision would save U.S. taxpayers an estimated $100 million in the next half decade."

S. 554 would also "lift the U.S. ban on travel to Cuba by U.S. citizens. Repealing this obsolete and ineffective restriction on travel to Cuba would raise an estimated $1 billion in U.S. tax revenues over five years from increased U.S. business activity."
