Later in the afternoon, Ambassador Bremer held a long meeting with female political leaders in Iraq, the National Women's Conference of Iraq. And they dealt with issues related to what needs to be done now so women can get to the 25 percent goal that is detailed in the Transitional Administrative Law for the transitional assembly, how to get women involved in consultations that the Governing Council will begin and the U.N. will begin when Mr. Brahimi returns, that we are beginning -- the coalition is beginning right now, wide consultations with the Iraqi people on the formation of the interim government.
