Under the agreement, businesses and individuals with claims against the country will receive neither cash nor bonds but will receive economic development incentives--like tax exemptions--for reestablishing businesses in the country. The President's executive agreement is counter to a law passed by Congress requiring that all such claims be settled for cash or its equivalent. One of the businesses having claims against Cuba sues, citing the congressional statute. A reviewing court should rule for:
a) The President, as the executive agreement promotes economic development
b) Congress, as it has the power to regulate the settlement of claims against foreign countries
c) The business, as the executive agreement violates the clear intent of the congressional statute
d) Cuba, as the executive agreement is a valid exercise of the President's foreign policy powers
