Cuba said it was prepared to use "every possible measure" to repel any form
of aggression against the Communist state as it renewed its criticism of the
United States over its decision to establish a radio and television station
to broadcast material to the island.

Ambassador Rodeny Lopez told the International Frequency Registration Board
(IFRB) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) on Thursday [21
October] that Washington was using a military plane to broadcast the
material to Cuban citizens.

He said Radio and TV Marti underscored Washington's policy of tightening the
four-decade old trade embargo against Cuba.
