CUBA

contra! government, Cuba faces
extreme uncertainty about its
future, Benjamin said.
For example, Soviet wheat
shipments to Cuba have be
come unreliable and sporadic,
and Soviet oil exports — 90
percent of Cuba’s oil supplies
— have been continually cut
back, Benjamin said.
As a result, the Cuban gov
ernment has imposed rationing
of both goods, and others are in
short supply, said Benjamin,
who lived in Cuba from 1979 to
1983, and most recently visited
the country in July.
"The stores are pretty emp
ty,’’ she said. ‘‘You can’t find
basics like soap.”
Meat is absent in the markets
and people are eating only one
meal a day, she said.
The crisis stems from turmoil
in Cuba's trading arrangements
with Kastern Kurope and the
Soviet Union, and the continu
ing economic blockade against
Cuba by the United States exac
erbates thi! situation, Benjamin
said.
The IJ.S. blockade, which be
gan in 1959, forced Cuba to
find other trading partners, pre
dominantly in the Soviet bloc,
Benjamin said.
"It tried to diversify trade,
and did well in the ’70s, until
the debt c risis,” Benjamin said.
Cuba’s mounting debts to
other lending nations forced it
to lean even more heavily on
the Soviet bloc, particularly the
Soviet Union, which accounted
for 75 percent of Cuba’s foreign
trade, Benjamin said.
Without trade agreements
with the Soviet bloc, Cuba is at
the mercy of the U S. blockade,
which prohibits even humani
tarian or medical assistance —
something even Iraq receives
from the United States, Benja
min said.
And without access to insu
lin, or film for X-ruy photos,
Cuba's uniquo medical-care
system is endangered, sho said.
Nonetheless, "your child has
a liettor chance of living if it's
born in Havana than in Wash
ington, D C.," Benjamin said.
Moreover, tho average life ex
pectancy for Cubans is 76
years, as opposed to 75 years
for the United States.
Cuba has an "amazing” sys
tem of free, round-the-clock,
accessible health tare, provided
largely by a system of neighbor
hood doctors, Benjamin said
"Our own government could
learn from tho Cuban health
care system," she said. "There
are many things wo could learn
from Cuba if we only lot Cuba
bo Cuba, to do its own thing."
Howover, continuing pres
sure from the United Slates
continues to fuel that country's
woes, Benjamin said.
"The rolo of U.S. policy has
been to destroy the revolution.'
starting after Castro came to
power in 1959, Benjamin said.
As an example. Congress re
