QUESTION: But, sir, not to dispute what you said, but how are they working on fixing that problem when it looks like it's not going anywhere? Officials from the Palestinian Authority --

MR. GALLEGOS: Yeah.

QUESTION: -- have even said it's a broken process, the Annapolis peace process, because of the violations -

MR. GALLEGOS: Well, I think one of the other issues that we've - that we've - one of the other issues that we've decided not to do is to speak publicly about where the negotiations are. We do believe that there has been progress. We do believe that we have two committed parties on both sides of this. We're going to continue working with them. We're only about halfway through the year, and we'll see what the end of the year brings.

QUESTION: And I'd just like to note one last thing. The Bureau of Statistics also released a report that says no humanitarian aid from the United States, aside from nongovernment organizations, has reached Gaza. And that's mainly because a piece of legislation that was passed that bans the United States from sending humanitarian aid because of Hamas being elected in 2006.

MR. GALLEGOS: Unfortunately, I don't see - I don't have those details at my fingertips. I'll have to take a look at that.
