I'd like to start with you Dr. Sharfstein, on the World Health Organization. They recently said that pork products from infected meat should not be consumed by people.
If we could get together as an industry and have this conversation, and if there were some limits around what that conversation or where it could go or what actual business model we could come up with, it would be better than what we have…

I know you are doing great things at DHS already, and now you have this pandemic, or at least this flu episode that you are dealing with.
We appreciate you, and I think both of you, as well as Federal agencies generally, have done a very good job of keeping the public informed.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for the timeliness and importance of this follow-up hearing.
What are the USTR, USDA, State Department, et cetera, doing to try to ensure that our exports of pork products are not affected by this?
