MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy is headed to Cuba
and Colombia during the President's Day congressional recess.

Leahy, a Democrat, and Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, a Republican, will
lead a five member delegation to the two countries between Sunday and
Friday.

Leahy says the trip to Cuba will discuss U.S.-Cuban cooperation on a
wide range of topics, including foreign trade, migration, human rights,
and property claims.

In Colombia, the delegation expects to gain information on the peace
agreement between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia and its significance for U.S.-Colombian relations.
