Regulation that Member 
date: March 1 ( : 
Scientific Expedition in the Caribbean Should Not Visit 
Cuba 
Yesterday I had a telephone call from Mr. Bredin 
concerning the forthcoming scientific expedition in the 
Caribbean. Mr. Bredin suggested, and I am glad to 
make it an official regulation of the expedition, that 
the vessel or members of the expedition while on the 
expedition should no-*- go to Cuba. The vessel should 
not go within twelve miles of the shore of Cuba. Even 
if unfavorable winds arise or other difficulties come to 
the vessel, the expedition should be so planned that it 
will not be necessary to make even an emergency 
landing in Cuba.
