I would tell you, yes, it should be a normal thing. Given the urgency, it's totally understandable that the government made decisions as to whom they were going to give it to. There should have been a process to vet them quickly. My understanding is that some of them may not have been in the business at all, but I don't know the details so I'm not going to get into....
As I said, criticism in hindsight is good, but knowing the details and knowing the firms should be standard practice. What you want should just be there.
