From today's Daily Press Briefing with Assistant Secretary of State, Philip J. Crowley:
QUESTION: Can I ask you a little further afield and a little bit back in time – and I don't know why this is just coming up now, but apparently during the UNGA, Assistant Secretary [for the Western Hemisphere, Arturo] Valenzuela met with the Cuban foreign minister.
MR. CROWLEY: He did.
QUESTION: Can you tell us what that meeting was about?
MR. CROWLEY: The meeting was to encourage the release of Alan Gross.
QUESTION: And anything?
MR. CROWLEY: Unfortunately, that has not yet happened.
QUESTION: Did they give you any reason to think that it might happen?
MR. CROWLEY: Again, the purpose of the meeting was simply to encourage his release.
QUESTION: But you can't say anything – nothing out of the meeting makes you think his release is any more or any less likely?
MR. CROWLEY: I mean, we would hope that it would happen today, but that's up to the Cuban Government.
QUESTION: So they gave you no indication that he was going to be released?
MR. CROWLEY: I'm not aware that they did.
