Alex and All part of White House Briefing Q -- were stripped of IMF funding, the President is going to sign today. Given what's going on in Asia, will the President ask Congress to restore that money in January? MR. MCCURRY: We've indicated we will have to pursue proposals that will allow the IMF to be fully funded, particularly as the IMF is addressing some of these issues, but we've indicated that we believe, given the need and given the discussions coming out of APEC, that it will be apparent to Congress that that is a facility that needs to be approved. The new authority for borrowing, the NAB provision that we sought was one that, if I understand correctly, was not widely objected to in Congress; it was tied up in a discussion of other issues, which is why it was not included in the bill that the President signs today. Sooner or later Asia's problems are going to hit home.
