I do want to briefly comment on the families of the individuals who were potentially exposed yesterday. It is an inconvenience because you are waiting for tests and you are doing screening tests that have a certain meaning in terms of sensitivity, specificity. We are waiting for results to get back, and you hear about the potential harm these poisons can do. I express my real sympathies to the families and the individuals affected. We had a conference call. We were all together last night by telephone until the early hours of this morning. We had another conference call at 8:45 this morning, and we will continue to be in touch with all the people who could have potentially been affected. Again, we think about them and their families.
