Our Right to Travel to Cuba

Less than two years after President John F. Kennedy imposed the full embargo on trade with Cuba, his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, argued that it had been a mistake to include a ban on travel. Restoring the freedom of U.S. citizens to visit Cuba, "is more consistent with our views of a free society and would contrast with such things as the Berlin Wall and Communist controls on such travel," he wrote in December 1963. "I believe it would be wise to remove restrictions on travel to Cuba." Bobby Kennedy lost that argument. President Lyndon B. Johnson, in office only a few weeks, would not risk looking "unacceptably soft" on Castro.
