Port of entry. What in your overall system today categorically prevents that . So we have a notification system. When we refuse an entry that electronic notification system not only notifies customs and border protection, but all the other fda district offices imports. And so how is that batch tagged indelibly so that that notification is meaningful so that those other ports can identify the same batch were talking about. So as you may be aware, weve been looking working for many years to try to get a marking rule that would provide that marking of the product. That is not in place yet.

Many of them were democrats as well. We put together what was called the goldwaternichols bill which created special forces command and got the forces to Work Together.
