SOT Annan:"I prefer not to say we are at an impasse. I would
say we are at a very critical stage. We should continue.
(reporter question about whether Butler should resign) SOT
CONTINUES: "I have not received the letter from Mr. Mubarak. I
think I have made a statement on Mr. Butler's competence and
contributions. I have also indicated to the press that he has
done a good job but has worked under tremendous pressure on a
very sensitive assignment. And in those kinds of situations, one
may slip up once or twice, but that doesn't negate all the good
that one has done";
