NPR's Vicki O'Hara reports that President Clinton today ordered a controversial provision of a sanctions bill against Cuba to go into effect, but he delayed a key aspect of the law for six months. Clinton chose not to block Title Three of the Helms-Burton Law, which allows U-S citizens to sue foreign companies which invest in property expropriated by Cuba's government. But sensitive to anger among America's trading partners, Clinton suspended for six months the right to file lawsuits under Title Three.
