This is why we asked the Secretary of Treasury which specific interests, which banks, which investment houses, which corporate interests are Mexico's creditors at this point. We would like to see who owns those firms. We would like to see who the depositors are, we like to understand who we are giving our money to, because it is likely, based on past history, that Mexico will default again and the taxpayers of the United States, the new insurance company to Mexico, will help to bail them out. We just would like to know who we are bailing out. Do you not think that the American people have the right to know?
