Q And any thoughts on how this might impact U.S. aid to Pakistan in the future? Any thoughts on whether this would increase, in particular, aid to fight terrorism, military aid?

MR. JOHNDROE: No, I think that, again, this is a process that the Pakistanis are going through within their political system. President Musharraf made a decision to resign. As I said, President Bush appreciates President Musharraf's efforts in the democratic transition, as well as his commitment to fight terror.

And so I think that these things that were put in place in Pakistan -- while there's more work to be done, they will continue, and while that continues the United States remains committed to Pakistan, committed to the fight on terror, committed to helping the people of Pakistan through aid -- aid that is not only devoted to fighting extremists, aid that is devoted to helping improve education, health care, and infrastructure.
