And i would suggest that a year from now, the notion that we would reverse this policy that is allowed more americans to travel to cuba and to help cuban people have access to more technology more capital more values and more contact with americans will seem as absurd as reversing the changes that were made with cuban American Travel a couple of years ago. So again, i applaud you for what youre doing and look forward to working with the administration as this policy unfolds. Thank you, senator menendez. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Let me ask you when a cubanamerican sends or visits their relatives in cuba and give them a lit money, the only place really to buy something is the dollar store isnt is that true .
