International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-533, December 16, 1980), Sec. 714 Sec. 715 Sec. 716 SOVIET MILITARY PERSONNEL AND ACTIVITIES IN CUBA Sec. 714.33 [Repealed-1981] CUBAN REFUGEES Sec. 715. (a) The Congress finds that (1) the flow of refugees for political, economic, or other compelling reasons is a growing and world-wide phenomenon; (2) the United States represents freedom of thought and action and economic opportunity and has historically played a major role in providing a home to the refugees of the world; (3) an orderly and lawful refugee process is necessary for the furtherance of United States domestic well-being; (4) continuation of the traditional compassionate and humanitarian policy of the United States regarding entry to its shores of refugees and other victims of oppression is threatened by the precipitate influx of large numbers of Cubans fleeing their country; 33. Sec. 714, which had required quarterly and annual reports to Congress regarding the military capabilities and deployment of Soviet military personnel in Cuba and Soviet military assistance to the armed forces of Cuba, was repealed by sec. 734(aX2) of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1981 (Public Law 97-113; 95 Stat. 1560). (5) the United States has sought to negotiate with the Government of Cuba to establish a lawful, safe, and orderly process by which Cubans may be allowed to leave their country; and (6) the Cuban refugee crisis is a problem of international concern and other nations should contribute to its resolution. (b)(1) The Congress urges the President to take the necessary steps to encourage and secure greater international cooperation with respect to the large number of Cuban natives who have recently fled or are attempting to flee Cuba. Such steps should include seeking the agreement of other countries to admit some of those persons into their respective countries and to contribute funds and other assistance for the resettlement of those persons. (2) In order to encourage countries throughout the world which are recipients of United States bilateral and multilateral assistance to permit and to help finance the resettlement of Cuban and other refugees within their borders, the President shall, to the maximum extent feasible, attempt to channel such assistance to countries which have demonstrated a willingness to provide assistance to Cuban and other refugees. (c) It is the sense of the Congress that, in carrying out subsection (b)(1), the President should seek the discussion, in an appropriate international forum such as the United Nations or the Organization of American States, of the situation involving the flight of large numbers of Cuban natives from Cuba, of the resettlement of Cuban refugees, and of means by which a more orderly process may be established to handle future crises of a similar nature. INCARCERATION AND DEPORTATION OF CERTAIN CUBANS Sec. 716. 25 The Congress finds that the United States Government has already incarcerated recently arrived Cubans who are admitted criminals, are security threats, or have incited civil disturbances in Federal processing facilities. The Congress urges the Executive branch, consistent with United States law, to seek the deportation of such individuals. 11.
