Yes. Often we say business as usual; this is business as unusual. Does the Senator, in the resolution proposed, talk about terms or performance? Is it not worth noting if this contract were done, if not in the dark of night, certainly at dusk--we do not know the terms--that not only means price could be many times over, there are no performance standards, either, which is pretty darn unusual?
