Iron Curtain Descends on Cuba

According to the document, all meetings with citizens of other countries must take place in the presence of witnesses. Gifts from foreigners should be handed over to superiors, who will decide the fate of the souvenirs and their recipients. Cubans can now send a postcard abroad only through the Foreign Ministry.
