1. Exactly. No meeting on Affirmative Action or..

issues pertaining specifically to black Americans and issues pertinent to the caucus.

2. I remember the report. The meeting lasted about 5 minutes

edit:

CBC members met Wednesday for 90 minutes with Mr. Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to urge intervention in Haiti, the world's oldest black republic. Mr. Bush joined the meeting for about 30 minutes.
