QUESTION: Yeah, on Cuba. Have you any comment on the changes yesterday?

MR. CASEY: Well, you saw the statement that the Secretary put out. I know that was in advance of the formal transition. But unfortunately -- I used the analogy this morning from a Who song, you know, “Meet the new boss, he’s the same as the old boss.” Unfortunately, the Cuban people deserve much better than the handover of a family business of dictatorship between the Castro brothers.

We will continue to do what we can to be able to promote positive change on the island. But as you saw in the Secretary’s statement, what we want to see happen is a real transition in Cuba that allows for the release of political prisoners, the enjoyment of basic human and political rights by the people of the country, and ultimately, an opportunity on their part to choose their own leaders.

Yeah, back here.
