Not till it came in. But I supported the decision. I was aware of the decision to return the money because--and I think in all these fundraising endeavors, the rules should be that all the checks should be checked to make sure that not only the fact but any even appearance of impropriety should be removed. And Mr. Cardozo was interested in the appearance of that. So was I, and that's why the decision was made.

But the campaign did it, the legal defense fund did it, and I think it was handled appropriately.
