FIU is better known among the Latin American press than here in the U.S.,

We're not very deep, and tonight it just looked like we were tired. We got behind and had to press on weak legs.

We elected not to include almost 500 members of the reporting press in the Waldorf because it's a zero-sum game. They would take the place of government, business, academic and religious leaders. They would have overwhelmed the meeting and taken away many important voices.

Obviously, we do not agree with the decision, and we will continue to press our case through all of the levels of review and beyond as necessary,

We have tried to do our best to make this a useful experience for the press. I think our media team, frankly, has done an incredible job. I think they've worked miracles.

They're a team that strives on getting up and getting pressure. If they sense a weakness in your press break they're going to keep coming up at you. I think throughout the game we did a great job of breaking the press that's why I don't think it was as effective.
