That is true. Mr. Takano, as you know, I represent a majority of the area that is commonly called ``Silicon Valley.''

This is almost like an arithmetic kind of extension of this impact when--I guess Warren Buffett said it best, that it is a nuclear bomb, because it just continues to spread its impact throughout our country and our economy.
