		Yes, Ma'am. The parties just discussed this issue Ma'am, and the United States, I guess-- has amended with the concurrence of the defense the two charges Specification 5 and 7 of a copy of a the original charge sheet that will become the new original. Specification 5 has been amended to say 'in that Private First Class Bradley Manning, US Army did at or near Contingency Operating Station Hammer, Iraq and at or near Rockville, Maryland' and then the remaining portion. And then the same-- the same amendment has occurred to Specification 7 your Honor.
