[Lnc-business] Cuban Prisoner Resolution - Take 2- request for co-sponsors

[Joshua Katz]

I will cosponsor.  I fail, however, to understand the following clause:

*We further ask for an inquiry and response from** the Castro regime for
information related to their detention,*

Are we asking the Cuban government, which is holding the people, to look
into it?  Wouldn't they, presumably, already know the answer?  It's fully
possible that I'm missing something, though.
