You talk about the drug-free workplace. I would like to make a couple of comments about that, if I may, because it started in my area back in the 1980's. It was very involved with Tropicana. I said, ``We have a drug problem.'' So they developed a program with the Florida Chamber of Commerce, with the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and developed a program that small businesses could do that. I am a small businessman. I put it into all my businesses, and I pretest for drugs. It was an amazing thing. When Tropicana put a sign at their entrance to their employment office saying, Don't apply unless you are willing to be tested for drugs, they would have people walk to the door, see the sign, make a U-turn and leave. Nowadays you have a sign that says, ``If you don't want to be tested for drugs, don't apply here, go to the White House and apply,'' something like that. It is a dramatic change, especially for small businesses.
