Q Gordon, did the Secretary's discussions this morning in Baghdad get to the point where she'll be either coming down to brief the President in person, or that there's something for the President to review, to look at?

MR. JOHNDROE: I'd say the President has certainly been engaged in this process and has been involved in the discussions with Prime Minister Maliki, as well as with his own top advisors. But I'm not aware of Secretary Rice planning to return to Crawford. We'll continue to have discussions. We'll get -- the President will certainly get an update from her. Whether it's by phone or secure video, I'm not sure, but the President will get an update from her on her trip to Baghdad and her discussions there. And I expect that, if not later today, then over the course of the next couple days. He also wants to hear from her about her trip to Brussels and to Warsaw.

Olivier.
