Abstract
Pursuant to the President's announcement of October 6, 1995, the Treasury Department is amending the Cuban Assets Control Regulations to add 3 interpretive sections concerning the authorization of travel transactions related to research, free-lance journalism, and educational activities in Cuba. A general license is added to permit travel to Cuba once a year in cases of extreme humanitarian need. Statements of licensing policy are added concerning the availability of specific licenses for public performances, educational exchanges, activities of human rights organizations, and the reciprocal establishment of news organization offices. Payment of expenses for intellectual property protection in Cuba is also authorized. In addition, a number of clarifying technical amendments are included in this final rule.
