Okay. Now, then, we had hearings in my committee, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, talking about how there are some counterfeit drugs that get into the market. These hearings primarily focused on some very expensive drugs, like growth hormones, that are used for body building and other types of uses and sometimes can cost as much as $2,000 a vial.

Now, my understanding is that this has happened within the United States. Is that the gentleman's understanding?
