The Executive Director of the Fund for Reconciliation and Development began working for normalization of diplomatic, cultural and trade relations of the United States with Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam when the war ended in 1975. Advocacy for similar normalization with Cuba began in 1997, giving special emphasis to restoring the Constitutional right of Americans to travel without politically motivated restrictions.
