Reclaiming my time, I would tell the gentlewoman that of a total $3.5 billion in the bill for FMF, such a huge percentage, right or wrong, goes to Egypt and Israel that the only way we could get the money would be to take it from those funds. So maybe it all could come from Egypt. That might be the best way to do it. Maybe it all could come from Israel. Maybe there would be no need. Maybe they could use the balance of the $200 million and not give financing to anyone else in the world.
