"We are not going to have a physical presence there," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.He said the major powers had completed work on details of the package and accompanying letter and Solana's office would contact the Iranian government to settle a date and venue for a meeting to hand over and discuss the refreshed deal.McCormack said the United States would only meet Iranian officials on the nuclear dossier once Tehran agreed to suspend its enrichment and reprocessing activities.
