Q: Jobless claims ticked down. What are you saying?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think you continue to see indications that the economy is moving forward and continuing to create jobs. You look at the four week average, as well, it signals we should be able to -- we should expect continued job growth. The economy is moving forward because of the pro-growth policies the President has worked to implement. The last thing we need to do is turn back from those policies by raising taxes. That would bring the economy to a screeching halt.

Q: In the wake of the kidnapping of the head of CARE in Iraq, a number of non-governmental organizations, NGOs, have been reassessing whether they want to stay in the country. Is the President doing anything to urge them to stay?

MR. McCLELLAN: Well, the I don't know about the number. I know what CARE said, as well. I think that the international community recognizes the importance of what we're working to achieve in Iraq. And we're all there to help the Iraqi people build a brighter future and help them move forward on free and fair elections. And that's what we're working to achieve. So, obviously, people have to make their own decisions about -- related to their own circumstances.
