We do not give money to terrorist organizations. What has happened is that this government has tried in a number of ways to make humanitarian aid available to the Palestinian people. We draw a distinction between Hamas, which is -- Q And they were democratically elected. MR. SNOW: They were democratically elected and they're still a terrorist organization. Q By your designation. MR. SNOW: Yes. Thank you very much, Helen. They are, in fact, by the designation of this government, this administration, and prior administrations. So let me continue my answer. Q Go ahead. MR.
