there are liaisons from other u.s. agencies that have been trying to coordinate with french officials. initially, it was so chaotic, they were in crisis mode, that the information was slow to trickle in. but now as the smoke clears, if you will, they are coordinating and speaking with french officials. the fbi, i know, is prepared to offer assistance. we don't know if that has been formally accepted yet, but the fbi is ready to give any assistance with bomb techs, with computer technicians. we know in the "charlie hebdo" attacks that happened there in january, that the fbi assisted with that and some of the electronics were actually looked at and analyzed at quantico in virginia. so there is good coordination. the french, of course, are key partners for u.s. agencies. there is a lot of coordination at this hour. and you can bet the americans will continue to offer assistance and help in any way that they can. >> pamela brown in washington, thanks so much. let's just recap what we just learned. we did just get a lot of new information right now.
