    Exchange With Reporters on Cuba
    August 30, 1993

        Q. Mr. President, are there any conditions that would be met that
    you would be able to end the U.S. embargo on Cuba?
        The President. We've had the press conference. [Laughter]
        I support the Torricelli bill, as you know. I did when it was
    passed, and I still do. But I said before, I could just reiterate what I
    said again: We all hope that there will come a time when democracy and
    an open economy will come to Cuba. And it will be a cause of enormous
    celebration in this country when it happens.

    Note: The exchange began at 2:36 p.m. in the Blue Room at the White
    House. A tape was not available for verification of the content of this
    exchange.
