Urges the President to direct the U.S. Representative to the United Nations to urge the Security Council to adopt a resolution that condemns the sinking and provides for a full internationally supervised investigation. Urges the Cuban Government to release from prison and cease intimidation measures against all survivors, identify all individuals missing, recover the bodies of the dead, and return such bodies to their families.
