Fidel Castro met Tuesday with three members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the former Cuban president's first meeting with American officials since falling ill in July 2006.
Greg Adams, a spokesman at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, said Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat, and two other lawmakers met with the ailing, 82-year-old Castro. He did not have further details, nor could he provide the names of the other Americans who attended the meeting.
The meeting appears to underscore the Cuban government's desire for improved relations with the United States under new President Barack Obama.
Adams said he expected the Cuban government to release more information during the nightly newscast on state television.
