mr. chabot. thank you, madam secretary. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> that was easy enough for everybody to understand. >> madam secretary, thank you for being here. thank you for the service that you give this country. you certainly make us proud. i don't know how you do it, but every time i see you, you're in a different country. it's amazing. i also want to commend the administration for standing firm on cuba not participating in the summit of the americas. and i also wish to -- to add that if we could use some of our -- our pull with the oas, maybe they could speak up a little louder about the human abuses that occurring in cuba currently. and with that, it brings me to alan gross. i know you mentioned alan gross before. i just want to know that there is no negotiations going on for a swap between the cuban spies that are in prison for alan gross? i know we had two senators who were in cuba a couple days ago. i was just wondering if, you know, if you know anything about any kind of nego
