There are 200-some-odd-million-dollars' worth of contracts. There is no prohibition right now that I know of that would keep a foreign company from doing the same work that PricewaterhouseCoopers is doing, or some other company, so a French company or a German company could pick up this contract that we are going to foreclose from PricewaterhouseCoopers, or somebody else and, correct me if I am wrong, under the Senator's amendment a German company could do it, and 100 percent of those employees could be in Germany and do 100 percent of this work and there would be no U.S. income tax--I take that back. I will rephrase this. This is a $129 million PricewaterhouseCoopers contract and they would be barred, so now those contracts would be open. There is nothing to prohibit a Swiss company, a German company, a French company, Israeli company, or any other company worldwide from doing that work, and those jobs might be domiciled someplace else in the U.S.; isn't that correct?
