In the case of Jordan in particular, this is a very strange free trade agreement, because you have guest workers coming from China, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar; the Jordanians wouldn't work in the factories. Only now are Jordanians working in the factory, and usually they make up a very small percentage of the workers—10% to 15%. So this is really driven by guest workers. The free trade agreement is also odd in that they exported $125 million of goods to the U.S. from this Classic factory. It all comes in duty free. So we gave the Classic factory a $20 million tariff rate, and then on top of that, all of the textiles are from China. So two-thirds of the value of the free trade agreement is really benefiting China.
