Absolutely, yes. One of the things that I think we have to do, first of all, is try to get this out on the table in a way that is both forthright but not threatening. I had a group of African-American journalists in here a few months ago, and virtually everybody in the room said they had been stopped by a police officer for no apparent reason. I mean, it was chilling to me. And now I just sort of--every time I'm in a room now with a number of African-Americans and Hispanics I'll cite this just to see how many people will speak up and say, ``Well, that's exactly what happened to me; it's happened to me a lot.'' Just today I was meeting with a guy who said, ``Oh, yeah,'' he said, ``I got stopped once just waiting for a taxicab, like there was something I was doing wrong, standing there waiting for a taxicab, in my suit.'' Ms. Enda. So what do you intend to do about it?
