Team, attached please find a draft of HRC's Cuba speech for Friday in
Miami. We make the case for lifting the embargo and pursuing a strategy of
engagement, and then stepping back to offer a vision for U.S. leadership in
the Americas and a broader contrast on foreign policy with the Republicans.
In this draft we don't hit Rubio or Jeb by name, so that's one question
to consider.

HRC is excited about this one and thinks we're in a pretty good place, so
that's encouraging.  Would be great to hear any comments or concerns on
Thursday morning.

Also, most of you have met our new speechwriter Megan Rooney, who wrote for
HRC for four years before going to work for President Obama.  I am super
excited to have her on board and I'm sure you'll soon love her as much as I
do.  Later this evening she'll be sending around an Urban League draft.

Thanks as always
Dan
