The refugees qualified fol
the airlift transportation are
those who obtained United
States visas before the United
States broke off relations with
Cuba last January and those
who since have obtained "waiv-
ers of viSas." A waiver is
simply a ruling by the United
States Government that an in
dividual may enter without a
visa. Since the break in rela-
tions, no Cuban has been able
to obtain a visa because there
are no United States consuls
in Cuba.
Most of the Cubans holding
waivers, the State Department
announcement said, fall into
two groups-relatives of Cubans
already living in the United
States and students under 81
who wish to continue their
education mere.
Exit Permits in Doubt
State Department Press Of
ficer Lincoln White said the
extraordinary flight program
with Government Financing was
decided upon as a humanita-
rian action to reunite families
and to make it possible fol
young people to study in this
country.
United States authorities
said that all citizens leaving
Cuba require exit permits; no
one here could say whether the
ro-Communist Castro regime
would allow exit permits for
this operation.
Another question which the
State Department was unable
to answer was whether the
Cuban government would per-
NIT the tenfold increase in
Pan-American flights between
Miami and Havana. Officials
said these flights have been
averaging about one a day.
1T is hoped" the State De-
partment announcement said,
that with this provision of
arrangements for additional
transportation facilities it will
be possible for the Cubans to
depart from Cuba at a rate of
at least 1000 per day for about
three weeks if no obstacles in
tervene beyond their control or
that of the United States Gov-
ernment."
Exact Cost Unknown
Authorities said that the to-
tai cost to the United States
could not be figured exactly be-
cause they do not know how
many Cubans might be able to
take advantage of the airlift.
The figure of $350,00o repre-
sents the cost of transporting
10000 persons from Havana to
Miami at the fare of $l7.5O
each.
The State Department said
the United States was putting
up the money because pay
ment for passage, when made
in Havana, is in Cuban pesos
that are deposited in Cuba and
cannot be converted into US
able foreign currency"
Cubans who have dollars to
spend, officials explained, pay
their dollars to a government
travel agency but the travel
agency cannot pass that money
on to the airline for the ticket.
1t must pay instead in the nom
convertible pesos.
The funds for United States
underwriting of the operation
come from a contingency fund
of the International Co-opera-
tion Administration. MIR. White
said this is the same fund
from which the Federal De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare draws financing
for relief of Cuban refugees
already in the United States.
