SECRETARY KERRY:  Good afternoon, everybody.  It’s great to be here.  The P5+1 is doing some very important work right now, and I’m delighted to be here at the invitation of Cathy Ashton to try to work with our colleagues to see if we can narrow some differences.  I want to emphasize there are still some very important issues on the table that are unresolved.  It is important for those to be properly, thoroughly addressed.

I want to emphasize there is not an agreement at this point in time, but the P5+1 is working hard, and I look forward to the meetings that I’ll be having very shortly with Lady Cathy Ashton and with my fellow ministers in the P5, and then also I will be meeting with Minister Zarif.  We hope to try to narrow those differences, but I don’t think anybody should mistake that there are some important gaps that have to be closed.

So thank you very much.  Appreciate it.  Thank you.
