In a speech before a group that included the relatives of Cuban political prisoners, President Bush said that U.S. policy toward Cuba would continue through the end of his time in office. In his remarks he offered Cubans computers and Internet access -- as well as scholarships for youth -- but only if the Castro government relaxed restrictions on such activities. He also announced efforts to create an international “freedom fund” for Cuba that would finance reconstruction once the government offered free speech and free elections. He further encouraged other countries to engage Cuba and assist in its transition to democracy. close
