QUESTION: There’s some reporting today about a CODEL from last week to Cuba, about ten Democratic members of the House. Did State facilitate any of that or do you have any visibility on that CODEL?
MR MILLER: We did not facilitate any meetings that they held. This is what I think you call a NODEL – the technical term. Go ahead. [NODEL: Non-Delegation]
QUESTION: Thank you very much.
QUESTION: Really? So they had – they had absolutely no contact with the embassy?
MR MILLER: That’s not what I said. They may have had contact. That I’m not aware of. We did not facilitate any meetings they had with the Cuban Government.
