Well, obviously, it does not help our trade deficit; it makes it worse. As the gentleman is pointing out, if we lose that, and the gentleman has pointed this out, there are other countries that are seeking to take these markets. China is working very diligently to take these markets, and we cannot allow this to happen. So it is imperative that we move, and we look to be having a vote this week, that we win and we have a big win in this very important area of trade.
