| | WHITACRE: | agenda.
| | MIMOTO: | Yeah.
| | WILSON: | What you're doing, uh, early terms is you're setting up a brand new Association. That's what you're doing. So it's a perfect cover. Now, 2 years down the road or a y-year down the road or 9 months down the road, you'll admit you don't want it, but that kinda cover. But right now, it's perfect cover. It's perfect.
| | YAMAMOTO: | Yes.
