Cuban negotiator calls 20,000 annual Cuban entry offer inadequate
Cuba's Ricardo Alarcon said the Clinton administration plan to admit at least 20,000 Cubans yearly is insufficient to curb sea departures. He urged potentially admitting all interested Cubans for a set period, noting 134,000 last year applied for U.S. visas, while U.S. visas totaled 2,700 in the past year. Talks at the U.N. mission continued without a formal Cuban response as embargo talks loom.
