There is much to be said here, but if we remember the Bristol-Myers Squibb case, they avoided prosecution for securities fraud in exchange for $5 million to the Governor's law school alma mater. Now, that is what is going on. Mr. Chairman, you don't accept that. If you are on the Judiciary Committee, you can't accept that either. You have got to be kidding me. To allow the courts to do something like this--and any administration, Democrat or Republican, to go along with this--no wonder the people have little faith in the justice system in the United States of America. I simply want fairness, Mr. Chairman. I have asked for it many times. This is not a new subject to me, and I will be back talking about it again.
