The House voted yesterday to block the Bush administration from enforcing new rules on Cuba that ban the personal shipment of clothing, seeds and other items to the island. The rules also place new restriction on travel to Cuba. 46 Republicans joined with Democrats to pass the measure. Republican Congressman Rep. Jo Ann Emerson of Missouri said, “The Cuban people have experienced enough oppression. Let us not fund policies that cut them off from their families, intensifying their hardship.”
