Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo conveyed this 'quiet agreement' to House Democrats in a closed door mtg on Cap Hill this morning, per a source in the room.

Interesting...but close to the same thing? If you tell the entire House Democratic delegation (and not just the Foreign Relations Committee), then you're basically telling the press. But still not making an official announcement, which is the key.
