A sharp-eyed observation, Belle! That guy in the Havana scene looks a lot like veteran character actor Peter Donat, who played Questadt, the Senate lawyer who interrogates Cicci and (later) Frankie. But it isn't Questadt in the Havana scene. Questadt's face is slightly more angular, his hairline more pointed, than the guy sitting along the wall, visible over Roth's left shoulder. More important: Questadt couldn't logically be in that scene without giving away the entire plot to trap Michael.

Turnbull,if it was anybody else I would disagree, but you have made your bones on this message board I far I am concerned so I will respectfully defer to your wisdom.  As far as the post by someone that the Senator Questadt being in Havana is giving away the plot, I will have to disagree. It seems that lots of pezzanovante were at that meeting, CEO's etc, so just the mere presence of this (at that moment)unknown Senator Questadt would not provoke suspicion. Remember that at this time Michael and Roth are still "partners". Maybe I am wrong but it makes sense that it was not until after Michael decided not to go along with Roth and his plans for the future of being "bigger that US Steel" that Roth would sick Questadt and his boys on the Corleone family anyway.

Questadt wasn't a senator, he was the Senate subcommittee's lawyer.
No politicians were introduced at the meeting with Batista--they were all businessmen. If a Senator were there, I'ms sure he'd have been introduced. Later, at the Yolanda show, we saw Senators Geary from Nevada, Senator Green (or Rheems) from Maryland, and Judge DiMalco from New York. I think only Geary was associated with the Senate subcommitee.

Once again outdone by the great Turnbull, but at least I was not alone in the mistake thanks AppleOnYa.
