Mr. Speaker, I think behind that joke was the answer that the president has in fact not rescheduled the visit.
It has been almost a month, April 9, since I asked the Prime Minister here in the House if he was prepared to pick up the phone and call the president about reconstruction in Iraq. He said at the time he was not prepared to do that. He was waiting for the president to call him. So my question now is, has the president called the Prime Minister and if he has, could the Prime Minister let us in on those in-depth discussions?
