The Cuban-sponsored resolution calling for the embargo to be repealed "as soon as possible' was approved by a vote of 179-4 with one abstention, very similar to last year's vote of 179-2 with two abstentions."
"Perez Roque cited a number of actions by the Bush administration, including new restrictions on tourism, its refusal to allow Cuba to import two drugs to treat AIDS, and an announcement Oct. 9 that the United States had set up a group to freeze the movement of hard currency to and from Cuba."
