STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS OF THE
HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
CUBAN SITUATION
Representative Armistead Selden, February 7, 1963, UPI
Meantime Rep. Armistead Seiden, D-Ala. Chairman of a Foreign Affairs
Subcommittee on Latin America, said the real threat from Castro Cuba lies in
its potential for subversion throughout the Americas.
He told the House whether Soviet arms in Cuba are "defensive"
"offensive" in the long run may be irrelevant..
"Our continued failure to recognize and cope with the export of Castroism in
Latin America is an open invitation to the creation of new Vietnams on our own
hemispheric border, 11 he said.
Therefore, Selden said his Subcommittee will start hearings of Feb. 18
the nature of the Castro-Communist subversive apparatus in the herrjbphere.
