NYTIMES/ Cuba chastized the U.S. delegation, led by Craig Kelly, the highest-ranking American official to visit the island in years, for meeting with dissidents at the residence of the the U.S. Interests Section chief after 5-hours of immigration talks. Calling the dissidents "mercenaries," the foreign ministry claimed it ''demonstrated anew that (U.S.) priorities are more related to supporting the counterrevolution and the promotion of subversion to destabilize the Cuban revolution than with the creation of a climate conducive to real solutions to bilateral problems.'' The U.S. responded that ''we believe in reaching out to broad sectors of society in all countries that we deal with ... and we don't make exceptions in particular countries.''
