Q    And yesterday, you said the President would address the resettlement of translators and other Afghanis who had helped U.S. military forces in his speech.  It didn’t sound like that made the final cut, so I’m wondering if you have any more details about that, especially considering the sort of immigration loopholes that — or immigration issues that have — that have been present over the last year because of COVID. 
 
MS. PSAKI:  Sure, and I am happy to get you more specific details from our national security team as well.  I will say that, you know, we will continue to provide and work with Congress to expedite and expand Special Immigrant Visas.
 
We remain committed to working with and helping people who have served alongside and been important partners to our men and women serving on the ground in Afghanistan.  And — and we are, of course, maintaining — intend to maintain a diplomatic presence there as well to help with that.
