Secretary of State Albright is urging Clinton to allow the resumption of direct humanitarian flights to Cuba. The food-and-medicine plan, described as a follow-up to the pope's visit to the Communist island, is expected to be approved by the president, perhaps as early as Friday, an administration official told AP. The plan also would lift a ban on Cuban-Americans from helping family and friends in Cuba. But the US official stressed that such a move would not signal warmer relations with Castro.
