Thank you.
I look forward to splitting my time with Mr. Trost.
I'd like to welcome our guests to today's meeting.
The very first question out of the gate today was rather interesting, because I really look forward to the time we start talking about our “Buy Turkey” procurement agreement, in which case we can get into that dialogue about what the approach should be to protect all interests. I know we'll do that thoughtfully.
Mr. Peppard, thank you for your comments. I must say I was encouraged when you talked about the economic recovery looking quite good. I salute you for that and for your acknowledgement of it.
However, I wasn't quite sure of your views, because when you first commented, it sounded at one level as if you supported less protectionism, because you talked about access. Could I get a very brief comment from you on that? Do you support less protectionism? I'm just trying to get a sense of that, sir.
