1) He appointed a very courageous and competent lady, Janet Reno, as his Attorney General. When the nutty family of Elián González in Miami refused to hand over the child to his father, Juan Miguel González, and publicly said “You will have to take him from us by force,” Miss Reno replied “much obliged” and proceeded to do it on April 22, 2000.
2) U.S. Representative George Nethercutt, Democrat from Washington State, introduced The Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 in the U.S. House of Representatives. Said bill allowed U.S. companies to make one-way, all-cash agricultural sales to Cuba. The bill passed overwhelmingly in a vote of 301-116, and President William J. Clinton signed into law on October 28, 2000.
I hope that our new President, the Honorable Barack H. Obama, will not keep us much longer in a state of suspense, and will surpass Bill with many more exemplary things in regards to our U.S.-Cuba policies.
