We may disagree and have different opinions, but I am sure my good friend would not want to misstate the facts. When we hear that Federal Express is not an express company, that simply is factually incorrect. There is no reclassification here. According to the National Mediation Board findings of law, it is very clearly spelled out that they are recognized as an express company. They have been for as many years as they have been in business. So this is a matter of fact, and I am sure my friend would not want to mislead the body. I think the fact needs to be stated.
