Evidently Dodd has plans for some sort of business deal in Cuba. But I cannot remember the details.
Bills to allow travel between the United States and Cuba are pending in the Senate (S.1919) and the House (H.R. 4471). The Senate bill, the “Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act of 2000,” is co-sponsored by Senator Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) and Senator Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT)
In a sharp and aggressive exchange with Rice, Dodd suggested that hopes for political evolution in Cuba are likely to be stifled rather than buoyed by a hermetic suspension of contact between the island and the United States and highlighted the absurd travel policy between the two nations. When the nominee attempted to defend the administration's policy by arguing that Castro skimmed the proceeds of tourism in Cuba and used the funds to prop up his regime, Dodd quickly retorted that the North Korean and Iranian governments no doubt do the same.

Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Connecticut, who wrote a letter of support for CancerVax, praised the Bush administration's decision to approve the cancer vaccine agreement.
"Saving lives shouldn't be a political issue, it should be a human issue," Dodd said in a written statement. "Obviously we don't know if this drug will be the magic bullet when it comes to fighting this dreaded disease, but this decision at least allows continued study of this vaccine."
