reclaiming my time, in addition, when the gentleman earlier focused on cocaine and talked about the shift of cocaine to Colombia, and the gentleman presumably gets into some of this here, too, but we have seen a shift in heroin, because we were getting it from the Golden Triangle, in Asia, and other places.
