No. Well, see, here's the deal. Some of the people actually, ironically, can get their legal fees paid. This is an interesting thing. Some of the people can get their legal fees paid if they've ever been a target of the investigation. But the people that they're really working over are people they just keep calling as witnesses, just over and over and over and over again; they've never accused them of doing anything wrong. They're just playing with them, just having a big time, letting them run up one hundred, two hundred, and three hundred thousand dollars in legal bills. They don't care; they've got all the money in the world. They have no evidence they did anything wrong. I mean, if the American people really knew what had gone on in this thing, they would be appalled--appalled. But they haven't found out what's going on, and I don't know that they ever will. Ms. Shipman. But you don't support legislation to help pay those sorts of legal bills?
