Senate Subcommittee Approves Measure to Waive OFAC Licenses for Certain Travelers to Cuba
On September 8, 2004, the U.S. Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee unanimously approved a proposal co-sponsored by Senators Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Larry Craig (R-ID) to permit U.S. citizens that want to sell agricultural products to Cuba under the Trade Sanctions Reform Act (TSRA) to travel to Cuba without having to obtain a license from the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). The measure will next be considered by the full U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee.
A similar proposal is being circulated in the House of Representatives in connection with the Transportation/Treasury appropriations bill.
