Thank you, Mr. Chair.

General Vance, I understand there's a report out today that the rebel forces may be within 60 kilometres of Tripoli. I wonder if you could comment generally on the current status of the conflict between the NTC-led forces and the Gadhafi-led forces. Also, could you comment on how the NATO mission to date has degraded Gadhafi's military assets and give us your assessment of what his remaining strength is?
