I did not say the ``then'' Governor. I said the Governor from Arkansas. I believe that is one of the things that has been raised, that the present Governor may have borrowed $1 million. I do not know whether that is true or not. I would like to get the facts. Now, let us understand it. Is it true or is it not true that Mr. Hubbell, who has recused himself since his father-in-law borrowed $500,000 or $600,000 from the institution and did not pay it back? I do not know. If you ask why I am interested, that is why. It is rather unique.
