(a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ''Humanitarian
Relief to Cuba Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Hurricane Gustav, which struck Cuba on September 1,
2008, was the worst hurricane to hit the island of Cuba in over
50 years. The Category Four storm displaced over 400,000 Cubans
and damaged or destroyed 130,000 homes and caused severe damage
to infrastructure.
(2) Hurricane Ike, which made landfall on Cuba on September
7, 2008, forced the evacuation of over 2,500,000 Cubans,
damaged an additional 100,000 structures, and damaged local
infrastructure.
(3) The number of Cubans left homeless is expected to reach
100,000, and the total economic losses of Hurricanes Gustav and
Ike are expected to reach upwards of $10,000,000,000, with
serious damage done to the island's agricultural industry.
(4) In the wake of past natural disasters, the United
States eased restrictions to mobilize the generous spirit of
many thousands of Americans by allowing humanitarian aid
originating from the United States to be transported directly
to Cuba to the benefit of the Cuban people.
(5) Allowing the people of the United States to assist the
Cuban people in reclaiming their lives and livelihoods
following a major natural disaster just 90 miles from the
United States is an important aspect of United States national
security and defense policy.
