Congressional push could return U.S. to restricted Cuba travel

Just when you thought the U.S. government was almost fully open to letting Americans travel to Cuba, a spoiler in a year-end appropriations bill could torpedo the deal, returning us to a more restrictive footing, according to a Miami Herald report.

New York Democratic Rep. Jose E. Serrano was trying to fight the congressional push for restrictions, led by Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida. Diaz-Balart wants to return to the tougher limits of the Bush administration.
