28. Carter did seriously relax the travel ban, which was slammed back the moment Reagan took office.

He was heavily interested in pleasing Miami Cuban "exiles" for money and votes. You may recall that it was with their heavy influence he pushed Russia to break all connections with Cuba as a condition of their new alliance with the U.S., which really screwed Cuba royally, and plunged them into a nightmarish struggle for survival from which they have only recently extricated themselves, since Russia was such an important trading partner.
