10/30/09 - The Washington Note - Kerry is going to give a major speech on
Cuba Nov. 6
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry is going to give a
major speech on Cuba on Friday, the 6th of November, at Boston University.
Congressman Bill Delahunt (D-MA) -- who has been doing much of the heavy
lifting on the Freedom to Travel (to Cuba) bill is also going to be at this
important conference.
What has been interesting to watch in Senator Kerry's speeches this past
year is a tendency to define challenges more clearly than the White House --
to articulate the costs of inaction or poor focus -- and to assimilate
different policy alternatives with a candid discussion of opportunities and
costs.
Kerry did this the other day at the Council on Foreign Relations with a
respectful critique of the administration's Afghanistan policy. He has done
the same on US-China policy and on climate change among other issues.
But why is Senator John Kerry about to give a major speech about Cuba??
Inquiring minds want to know.
