"On the occasion of the Patriarchal visit, and in honor of the Archbishop of America, the U.S. Interests Section Chief in Havana, Cuba, James Cason, organized a reception during which the Archbishop had the opportunity to meet with Cuban dissidents and to discuss important humanitarian concerns with them. During their meeting with the Archbishop, the dissidents presented a number of papers on human rights issues, which in turn were conveyed to His All Holiness, the Patriarch."
