Q Gordon, back to Georgia. There seem to be conflicting reports coming out about what's going on on the ground. What are you hearing about what is really happening there? And is the White House satisfied with some of the latest developments?

MR. JOHNDROE: No. The Russians need to honor their commitment. They made a commitment to withdraw; we expect them to withdraw. The reports we have on the ground are -- if there is any withdrawal it's very limited. And there are opposite reports that suggest there are new, additional troops, or troops that may be digging in. Both of those -- if that's accurate, troops digging in -- what we know is accurate is that the withdrawal is not happening very quickly, if it, in fact, has begun. The withdrawal needs to take place, and needs to take place now.

Yes, ma'am.
