Honorable  Senator  Bill Nelson
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

Dear Mr. Nelson:

I would like to thank you for your supportive attitude in favor of toppling
Fidel Castro’s tyranny and communism in Cuba.

It is my pleasure to share a copy of my letter to HIS HOLINESS JOHN
PAUL II, The Vatican. It was on April 21, 1997. The letter dealt with the
communist  tyranny  imposed by Fidel Castro on Cuba  for more than
forty two years. His totalitarian regime is the only one that has imposed
a  blockade  on the  martyred  and  long-suffering  Cuban  people;
which he jails, executes  and coldly  murders in various  inhumane
forms, starves, discriminates, and enslaves. Castro has systematically
violated their most basic of human rights.

The terrible tragedy of February 24th 1996 in which four young men
lost their lives, is the most clear example of what man can do. It  also
proves that there can be no dialogue or negotiations with Fidel Castro
who shows no compassion for human life.

No military chief in Cuba dares to give an order of such importance
involving so many international risks. The Castro regine showed its
true colors that Saturday of February 24th 1996, when he ordered the
downing of the two small American planes unarmed blown in the air
by the assassins of Fidel Castro’s obscene tyranny.

Mr. Nelson, I am including my write up, regarding this important
matter.

Hoping to hear from you.

Respectfully  yours,

Manuel   Blanco
