Well, I really appreciate having this opportunity, knowing of your background and your interest in providing for adequate medical, both health and dental, plans for our military and retirees. You and I share this same commitment to our retirees and to those serving on active duty and to their families to make sure that they get the very best medical care, both physical and dental. I will have to say, back in, I guess, January of this past year, I happened to be down in Jacksonville, which is the home of Camp Lejeune Marine Base, and we are very proud to have Camp Lejeune in eastern North Carolina, particularly in my district. Well, a group of dentists wanted to talk to me, and I will be very honest with you, I was very unfamiliar with the dental plan because it was something new. I think the Concordia is now the provider of this dental plan, and in the past, and I hope you are in touch with this in just a couple of minutes, Delta had been the provider.
