Q Senator Reid wants the President to support a one-month extension of FISA. Is he okay with that?

MS. PERINO: Well, the Senate has had six months in order to work on this bill. In the letter that he wrote to the President today he said they'd been working diligently on it. I did see yesterday that he was going to move forward and push the bill -- try to push the bill through the Senate this week. They have 10 days -- or about nine days now until the bill expires, until the law expires. And we would like to see him be able to try to get this done. He's already said he's going to try to get it through the Senate, and then the House can pick it up.
