nection therewith, differentiate between two or more
States in which solid waste is generated, and may differen-
tiate between any such State of origin and the fees or
charges which it imposes and collects, if any, in connection
with the treatment and disposal of waste generated within
its geographical boundaries.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The economy of Cuba has experienced a de-
cline of at least 50 percent in the last 5 years as a
result of—
(A) the end of its subsidization annually of
between $5,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000
by the former Soviet Union;
(B) 36 years of economic mismanagement
by the Castro government;
(C) the extreme decline in trade between
Cuba and the countries of the former Soviet
Bloc; and
(D) the policy of the Russian Government
and the countries of the former Soviet Bloc to
conduct economic relations with Cuba on strict-
ly commercial terms.
(2) At the same time, the welfare and health of
the Cuban people has substantially deteriorated, and
continues to deteriorate, as a result of this economic
decline and the refusal of the Castro regime to adopt
economic and political reforms, as well as to permit
free and fair elections, that would lead to democracy,
a market economy, or an economic recovery.
(3) As long as no such economic and political
reforms are adopted by the Cuban Government, the
