Congress Calls On Fehr About O's-cuba Game

The games were proposed after the Clinton administration decided in January to ease the four- decade-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba.

So far, negotiations on setting up the games have run into roadblocks. The Clinton administration wants any proceeds from the games used to help the Cuban people. Cuban officials say any profits should go to Cuban doctors doing hurricane relief work in Central America.

The original idea was for the Orioles to play in Havana in late March, with the Cuban team playing in Baltimore the following month.
