Briefing Notes — Cuba & Farm Loans
A loose, letter‑size stack of briefing pages—typed headings mark separate packets labeled 'Cuba' and 'Farm Loans.' Pages whisper when shifted; a few corners fold and margin jottings suggest hurried review. Leo hefts the papers and presses them toward the President while staff linger; the pile functions as a tactile burden, passed between hands as priorities are argued and deferred.

Purpose
To summarize key facts, talking points, and agenda items about Cuba and agricultural loan policy for senior staff and the President to review prior to decision‑making.
Significance
The notes act as a physical embodiment of administrative load and competing priorities: by being stacked and handed to the President, they catalyze a moment of avoidance and transfer responsibility, foreshadowing the consequences of the President’s choice to sidestep the timetable.
