we end up getting in major debates over items that need not be controversial around here. I have a few questions. I would like to join in an ongoing colloquy if I could without a lot of parliamentary discourse. But in the process when we discussed this, there was a special section put that would prohibit the use of photos of this event for commercial purposes. I want to thank Chairman Gilchrest for that. Further, there have been placed into this resolution financial penalties associated with violation of that prohibition. We have had a lot of talk about American cars and an event that would highlight the automobile in our history, and the great invention and pursuits of American manufacturing. The first question is, Will there be foreign cars highlighted, and will they be a part of this display?
