MR. JOHNDROE: You know, the agreement as it's working its way through the consultative process right now with the Iraqis is not one that would require congressional -- specific congressional approval because this is the type of agreement, in many cases, that we have with many countries around the world. So it's not a treaty, so it would not require Senate ratification or anything like that. It's a bilateral agreement that would provide the authorities for our troops to operate in Iraq.
