I think the price control issue deserves BC attention. I am not personally affected, but my understanding of the business entities with large defensive portfolios, or just portfolios, is that price increases, even on selective names like brands, could affect them negatively. Steve, did I understand from you that the BC would need a rapporteur on this?

Further, I'm sorry that I had to leave the call early.  If there are follow-up items or support that you need from us Elisa and I are happy to discuss via email.
