QUESTION: On Germany. Today, the Bundestag approved the
legislation enacting the slave labor compensation fund. Do
you have any reaction to that?

MR. BOUCHER: That's good. (Laughter.) No, I don't have any
other reaction than that. This is something that we've
talked about before and we were quite pleased we were able
to work out the arrangements.

QUESTION: And as part of that agreement, though, I believe
the US is supposed to make a statement discouraging any
further claims against the companies. Can you tell us how
and when that statement might come?

MR. BOUCHER: I think we've said that in the past. We've
talked about the terms that were discussed and particularly
with regard to further claims. I will see if there is
anything more we can say as of ratification.
