Well, we are doing some of that tonight. There is another one. This issue is not an American issue. This issue is a worldwide issue. Every society, every ethnic group in the world faces Alzheimer's, some more severely than others. There is another piece of legislation introduced by Chris Smith, who is the cochair of the Alzheimer's Caucus here in Congress. This one is H. Res. 489, the Global Alzheimer's resolution by Mr. Smith. It says it is the policy of the U.S. Government to encourage and facilitate the following efforts concerning Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. This goes to the World Health Organization and other nations that are involved in research, the sharing of knowledge and research. We can, as you just said, leverage, leverage what we are doing with what is going on in other countries--certainly the European countries; we know China is doing a lot of research on this--together the whole world facing a common issue, and perhaps we can find a much better and a faster solution.
