Thirty seconds? Well, in 30 seconds, let me just say, let us do the right thing. I am a Member that is very disturbed about the transfers of technology. Just pause for a moment in this body. We serve a greater cause than corporations. Corporations serve the bottom line, called profit, and their responsibility is to their stockholders. Our responsibility is, in fact, to the taxpayers and the citizens of this country under the umbrella of national security. So for the White House to sell out for other reasons, to corporations for profit, by pressure, we serve a greater cause here and there better be a deep appreciation of this.
