An Interview with Fidel Castro

BY BARBARA WALTERS-SEPTEMBER 15, 1977

EDITORS’ NOTE: The transcript of this interview was prepared by aCuban stenographer, and both the rendering of Barbara Walters’ English questions and the translation of Fidel Castro’s remarks from Spanishwere, in many instances, rough. The material in these excerpts has beenedited to read smoothly, but the original substance and tone of the conversation have been preserved.
Castro released 11 American prison­ers in June 1977. According to State Department esti­mates, at least 20 Americans remained in Cuban pris­ons on various drug, hijacking, or political charges. In August, Castro said he would permit the Cuban families of 84 U.S. citizens to leave Cuba.
