I have a comment on the statistics just demonstrated, because I was reading in the New York Times, and they begin the data in 1994. So it shows a slight increase. But the dramatic case that the Senator made is absolutely correct. You have to go back to 1992 and 1993 to see what really is happening with arrests and seizures of narcotics. I just point out that it is good that the Senator is making the point because our adversaries like to start measuring statistics in 1994. We can't do that.
