Dear Madam Attorney General Reno,

I just spoke with the mother of Mario Manuel de la Peqa, 24 years of age when he was murdered by agents of the Cuban government. She spoke on behalf of the other families when she stated, "We want justice. We want them [those responsible] indicted."

We are here today engaging in a moment of silence coinciding with the time 3:21pm - 3:27pm in which the planes carrying all four were blown out of the sky by Cuban MiGs.

On behalf of the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and daughters of Mario, Pablo, Carlos, and Armando I beg you that you provide them with a little justice for a devastating loss.

Sincerely,

John Suarez
