Polls indicate the great majority of Americans now see our 47-year old Cuba policy for the utter failure it is. Even the Cuban-American community, heretofore solidly behind the policy, is moving rapidly in the other direction. Polls taken in the congressional districts of Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Mario Diaz-Balart, two of the policy's most iron-clad advocates, show even the majority of their constituents to disagree – 66% expressing disagreement in Lincoln Diaz-Balart's district and 69% in Mario Diaz-Balart's. Truly a dramatic change.  
      Conference participants will discuss the implications of these changes for future policy – how they may increase the pressure for expanded trade and travel – and for a more constructive relationship with Cuba. Senator George McGovern, a leading American expert on agriculture, will just have returned from a trip to Cuba. He will share with us the highlights and conclusions of his trip, and will discuss the prospects for dramatically expanded agricultural sales to the island.
