00:00Can I follow up a bit? There are several Americans in Russia that were at least identified by
00:08Mickey Bergman and other groups who are active in this regard with trying to get Americans out
00:15who are not designated yet as wrongfully detained. And I'm wondering if you could check or take the
00:21question as to whether there's any progress on elevating them to the level of wrongfully
00:27detained, which could accelerate them getting released. I think that was done by the administration
00:34with Mark Fogel. Right. I do know. Yes. Again, the question about Americans who don't have a
00:41designation of being wrongfully detained is that if an American is being held, we are regularly
00:46looking at those cases. We're constantly addressing the nature of how they're held, why they're held,
00:55and if that designation might change. So it's not something we look away from. It's a regular
01:00effort. And so in the regard of anyone who's not been designated in that fashion, it is something,
01:07as you've noted, like with Mr. Fogel, that can change if circumstances merit it.
01:12Can you give us any details? There's some confusion. According to her lawyer, she was supposedly,
01:18Xenia was arriving at 4 p.m. There are other reports that it is as late as 9 p.m.
01:24Can you give us any clarification about and when she'll be, if she'll be coming, going to the White
01:29House? Or do you know anything more? And I have one more question to ask about her, about will she
01:35be going to Brooke Army Medical? Well, clearly there's still issues of privacy here. I'm not really
01:42going to talk about the choices she's made, where specifically she is going, or what the plans are for
01:50her involved in that, which are decisions that are going to be made in that environment and with her,
01:59which would not be appropriate to discuss. And certainly I can't discuss the nature of the
02:04negotiations that occurred, which clearly did. But maybe that's for another day, but here I can't do that.
02:12Okay. Ends.
02:12Ends.
