syria is open to giving up its chemical weapons to international control. i've been told, wolf, by a senior administration official that john kerry was serious about the concept of it though not the timeline. he talked about seven days in his comments but i also think that on the flipside, we've heart from our jim chute ta talking to a u.s. official who said this was a major goof and that kerry went off script. what you're seeing and aides have been hud ling trying to figure out how to respond to the latest news, i think you're seeing the scramble going on at the white house to adjust to this latest information that's been put out by the secretary kerry. >> what would be the downside, if any downside, from the administration's perspective in seeing and checking out to see if this russian proposal does have merits and that syria will basically be forced to eliminate its chemical weapons stockpiles, especially given the tough struggle the president's having in getting a resolution passed
