"Several members of Congress urged Rice to discuss the Weisfeiler case with Bachelet. Justin Higgins, a State Department spokesman, said a U.S. government bureau reported that Rice did address the issue with Bachelet. "She (Rice) emphasized the importance that the U.S. government attaches to this case," Higgins said. "And the Chilean president said it was important to Chile, as well."
