no, and I would not expect that they would be involved in any appropriation we make to any other country for any other purpose. It is not the role of AIPAC to be that involved. My point is that we have a very limited amount in the economic support fund over and above what we traditionally have given to Israel and Egypt. If we allow the appropriation to Egypt and to Israel, then indeed it jeopardizes the possibility of Jordan getting the $100 million they have requested and the administration supports.
