Well, now that's a different--the answer to that is, absolutely not. Indeed, look at the difference in my policy and my predecessor's policy. We changed our policy on arms sales because of East Timor, not to sell small arms. And we cosponsored the resolution in the United Nations in favor of greater human rights for East Timor. And I'm proud that we did that. So I can tell you categorically that there was no influence. By the way, all kinds of people talk to me about policy. Polish- Americans, Hungarian-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Irish-Americans talk to me about policy. Citizens that I--people I meet around the world in the course of my travels on your behalf talk to me about it. But in the end, I always do what I believe is right for the American people.
