Absolutely. Because, in part, I think African- American businesses are more likely to see the opportunities. There are going to be a lot more other kinds of businesses, all kinds of American businesses here, I predict to you, in the next few years, both selling here, buying from here to sell in the American market, and investing here. But this is really an incredible opportunity for the African- American business community to get on the ground floor of what I believe will be an explosion of economic activity in the years ahead. One of the things we're doing here is dedicating the Ron Brown Commercial Center in Johannesburg, and Ron told me years ago, shortly after he became Commerce Secretary, that there was a new Africa emerging and that we needed to be a part of it; we needed to be in on the ground floor. So that's what we're trying to do. Ron Brown Ms. Ryan. Do you miss him especially now?
