Q -- the French press is quoting actually two different diplomats from
the  United  States State Department that -- they're highlighting that
the  United  States  is  giving some sort of agreements or benefits to
Colombia -- and other non-members of the Security Council --

MR.  FLEISCHER:  I  haven't  seen  the story. And you already have the
answer,  about  what  this  will  be  decided  on. But think about the
implications  of what you're saying. You're saying that the leaders of
other  nations are buyable. And that is not an acceptable proposition.
(Laughter.)

Thank you.
