Q And on Georgia, there seems to be some disagreement on whether Russia is pulling back. Georgia says that Russian troops aren't and actually they've broadened where they are. As of right now, what are the signs that you are seeing?

MR. JOHNDROE: Right. I would say that we have a number of reports from the ground. The Russians have said that they are beginning their withdrawal. We are going to closely monitor this. It's hard for me to say, standing right here, right now, exactly the state of the withdrawal. But regardless, the Russians have committed to withdrawing and they need to withdraw. And so that is what we are looking for.

Mike.
