In connection with your conversation with Mr. Alan Gross, broadcasted on May 4, 2012 in "The Situation Room", I'm writing to request that my government's positions on the case be equally made known. These are:

The Cuban government has conveyed to the U.S. government Cuba's willingness to find a humanitarian solution on a reciprocal basis in the case of Mr. Gross.


So, he is talking about the Alan Gross case, and says he wants a solution on a reciprocal basis. Then, he goes on endlessly about the Cuban five.

Or we can just go to another of various sources:


Cuba renews call for U.S. to swap prisoners
2012-12-06 06:19:18 GMT2012-12-06 14:19:18(Beijing Time) Xinhua English

HAVANA, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- Cuba said Wednesday it was open to "serious talks" with U.S. officials on the possibility of swapping prisoners to secure the release of jailed U.S. citizen Alan Gross.

Gross is serving a 15-year sentence in Havana for "subversive activities," and the United States is holding five Cuban prisoners convicted in the late 1990s of spying.

Cuban foreign ministry official Josefina Vidal said Havana was renewing its invitation to hold "serious talks" aimed at resolving both cases.
