Robert F. Kennedy Never Supported Travel Ban According to Daughter
Writing in the Washington Post Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, says her father never supported banning or prosecuting US citizens travel to Cuba. During the time the senior Kennedy was Attorney General:
In December 1963, the Justice Department was preparing to prosecute four members of the Student Committee for Travel to Cuba who had led a group of 59 college-age Americans on a trip to Havana. My father opposed those prosecutions, as well as the travel ban itself.
