QUESTION: On Six-Party Talks, were you able to get details about energy assistance?

MR. MCCORMACK: Nothing new. I know they're talking about it, and we are working to -- we, the other five parties -- are working to fulfill our obligations in terms of energy assistance, whether that's providing heavy fuel oil or heavy fuel oil-equivalent assistance, which South Korea and China have done.

The issue of completing the obligations that the five have is a topic of continuing discussion at the Six-Party Head of Delegation Meeting that's ongoing in Beijing.
