Excerpt from Shoot Down of U. S. Civilian Aircraft by Castro Regime: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, February 29, 1996 The committee met, pursuant to notice at 10:29 a.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC, Hon. Dan Burton, [chairman of the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere] presiding. Mr. Burton. We will start the hearing. I apologize for the delay.
