From Washington Straight

Cuba is the number one item of conversation here, so much so that on Capitol Hill “What’s new on Cuba?” has replaced “When do you think we’ll adjourn?” as the standard conversational opening. A well-defined cleavage between the White House and the Legislative Branch is developing over Cuba. The Administration line is that our policy must continue to be one of watchful waiting, as Walter Lippmann expresses .it. Here on the Hill the attitude is pretty close to unanimous. Regardless of party, most legislators feel that something more forceful than watching and waiting is called for.
