I would like to start with you, Dr. Zimliki. You have given us great news on the artificial pancreas.
And have we not designated a certain amount of funding or a percentage of funding to NIH specifically for diabetes research?
Do you anticipate that they will all be approximately the same cost, or will there be a big cost disparity?
We are trying to do it in a way that does not harm the public and that would be considered a smart way to trim our spending.
When I look at your SBA loan data, a few minutes ago you said that you have a very low default rate on SBA loans, which is great.
Does the money go directly into something that gets in the hands of small businesses and improves their situation, allows them to grow and create jobs?

You are committed to continuing the review of SBA programs to eliminate overlap and duplication.
