Reporter: Ambassador, what is the U.S. response to the sort of the proposal that's been floated out by Mr. El Baradei about a deal with Iran whereby they suspend your enrichment and enforce implementation of -- the sanctions adopted December 23 would also be suspended.

Ambassador Wolff: Well, you know from Resolution 1737 that was adopted unanimously in December that there is a path laid out for suspension, and that is Iranian suspension of their enrichment activities to be responded by the council. So that is very clear and it's not subject to reinterpretation.
