Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you for coming, ladies and gentlemen.

I agree with the thrust of it. I just have a quick question.

On the issue of those that have not ratified--our major trading partners, Mexico, India, and Brazil--what are the implications that they have not ratified and what, if any, is the status regarding those particular states? And how does that affect us? Given the fact that we're signed on with another 143-odd states, what is the effect of leaving these three out?
