 Dear  Mr.  President:

 It is my pleasure to share a copy of my letter to
 his  HIS  HOLINES  JOHN  PAUL  II,  The Vatican.
 I was sent on April 21, 1997. The letter dealt with
 the communist  tyranny imposed by Fidel Castro on
 Cuba for almost thirty-nine years.

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

 Include with this letter you will also find my two poems
 (Miserable  Misfit  and  Four Martyrs) regarding  the
 situation  in Cuba.

 Respectfully

 Manuel  Blanco
