New Regulations Issued Immediately Easing Restrictions

Today, Congressman José E. Serrano announced that the omnibus language he authored easing travel restrictions on Cuban-Americans' family visits to Cuba had been implemented. In coming weeks, new agricultural and medical sales travel license guidelines will be issued as his language also directed.

"I'm very pleased to see the immediate implementation of the changes my section of the Omnibus bill ordered to loosen restrictions on family travel for Cuban-Americans," said Congressman Serrano. "There can now be no doubt that the days when the U.S. government tells Cuban-Americans they cannot see their families are over. That is a welcome change, and a move towards a humane and rational travel policy."
