Yes, I think there's definitely room for some help in research. One thing that keeps coming up is the need for independent research. We as an industry don't have a lot of dollars for research, and some of this research is very costly. There's some research that could be done, or is being done, by some of the chemical companies, and it keeps coming up that people question their credibility. At the end of it all, I would trust that science is science and that the people who are doing it are doing a good job. The good laboratory practices have been demonstrated to us; the chemical industry has shared that with us. Perhaps there's a group out there that doesn't fully understand it, I'm not sure. If it needs to be third-party, independent research, there's some room for help from the federal government in that area, just so it's credible to all people.
