The Associated Press. Tue, Feb. 15, 2011.A new report finds the president has broad authority to continue easing sanctions against Cuba without violating the congressionally mandated U.S.embargo.
The report released Tuesday by Washington-based attorney Stephen Propst, was commissioned at the behest of the moderate, business-backed Cuba Study Group.
Cuban authorities announced in September they were opening the island's Marxist economy to a limited amount of private enterprise. Propst' review found President Barack Obama could authorize certain services to be imported from Cuba, such as those provided by Cuban web-based entrepreneurs. He also maintains Obama could create more general travel licenses to the island, making it easier for those working with the country's fledgling business class.
