there has been a question that has been raised over and over again, and, as a matter of fact, I think I just heard the President say this within the last few days, that one of the problems was 9/11, and that 9/11 caused us to go through some extra economic problems. And I was just wondering when my colleague takes a look at his charts, is he taking into consideration, when he talks about 40 years back, is he taking into consideration the fact that we had this very, very unique situation and regretful situation with 9/11?
