Cuban Congress Has Poor Record
Havana Cuba Special The Cuban congress, nearly finished with active sessions, has yielded little lasting legislation. Quorums often failed and recent sessions focused on vetoable measures. One bill would force President to relinquish power before election, which he vetoed, another would pay soldiers civilians tied to the 1895 revolution. both face veto. British oil interests in Mexico seek to influence free petroleum import into Cuba, but no action likely before November elections.
