Cuba Travel Firms Say U.S. Harassing Clients
By REUTERS

CANCUN, Mexico (Reuters) - U.S. charter companies that fly some
150,000 people to Cuba annually charged on Saturday that
U.S. officials are harassing their clients even though they have
permits to visit the communist island.

``Customs and Treasury agents are going to every single flight that
departs Miami for Cuba, and they are questioning every single
passenger about their licenses and how much money they are taking,''
said Tessie Aral, vice president of Miami-based ABC Charters, Inc.

Other charter operators meeting with Cuban officials at a three-day
travel industry conference in Cancun said their passengers faced
similar scrutiny.
