QUESTION: Moving on, P.J., (inaudible) Iran to come to the negotiating table, and Iran has finally now said that it's ready. What is holding up the determination of a date and place both with regard to the Vienna Group meeting (inaudible)?
MR. CROWLEY: There are discussions ongoing between Iran and Catherine Ashton in the EU, and between Iran and the IAEA. We are hopeful that there can be constructive meetings in the coming weeks on both of those fronts. We stand ready to join other countries in a P-5+1 discussion with Iran, and we hope that such a meeting can be set up very shortly. And likewise, we look forward to discussions within the IAEA about whether there's any arrangement that can be arrived at regarding the Tehran research reactor. So we're hopeful that both of those meetings can happen soon, and there are discussions ongoing to try to set up a specific date for both of those meetings.
