Now, on to the news that some of you have already had a chance to find out about. The President today is going to invite the leaders of the Group of 20 countries -- I'm sorry, 20 -- yes, 20 countries to a summit in Washington, D.C. That will be November 15th, and it will be to discuss the financial markets and the global economy. The meeting will be preceded by a dinner the night before, on November 14th, at the White House, hosted by President and Mrs. Bush.


Don't have a venue yet for you here in Washington, D.C., but we'll get that as soon as possible. There's only 23 days between now and that meeting. Usually, when you have a big summit like this, you have over a year to plan. So we're going to put it together quickly. We're going to do it here in D.C. We think that's the best way to get it done most efficiently, and actually cut down on costs for all of us. So we're looking forward to meeting.
