I must say to you, on this issue I have always been sensitive to the national security and foreign policy arguments. In the past, in considering this legislation, I have never been one who sort of willy-nilly wanted to remove export controls. I think they have a very important role to play.

So I very much hope my colleagues will be supportive of this legislation as we move ahead.
