Bush discusses America's policies regarding Cuba as Secretary of State Colin Powell, left, and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Mel Martinez stand by his side in the Rose Garden Friday, Oct. 10, 2003. "We will increase the number of new Cuban immigrants we welcome every year," said the President. "We are free to do so, and we will, for the good of those who seek freedom. Our goal is to help more Cubans safely complete their journey to a free land." White House photo by Tina Hager
