President Bush met with Cuban political dissidents on the 89th anniversary of the independence of Cuba to discuss the political and social state of Cuba. Speaking to reporters with the aid of a translator outside the White House after the meeting, the political dissidents said the subjects brought up in the meeting were the political prisoners being held in Cuba and U.S. aid to Cuba. Mr. Rodriguez called for increased political pressure from the U.S. on Cuba to aid in the release of political prisoners in Cuba, and said if Cuba held free elections, the Communist government would not win reelection. close
