- Brookings Institution (think tank) scholars offer policy proposals for the short, medium, and long term in hopeful anticipation of a US opening to Cuba. The results of six simulation exercises are reported: these include three meetings of the US National Security Council, a multilateral (foreign ministers) meeting, a meeting of Raúl Castro with his advisers, a meeting of grassroots Cuban activists, and a meeting of representatives of the Cuban-American community.
