Yes. I have a couple of questions. Regarding the cluster munitions Act, Mr. Bristow stated ISIF identified 19 companies in which it will not invest. He said there was some discussion about whether aircraft companies should be included. I presume that is a company like Boeing, which might make a bomber aircraft that will actually drop the bombs. ISIF has not excluded Boeing as an investment. It is not directly part of the cluster bombs industry, but its aeroplanes could be used to deliver them. Is that what Mr. Bristow is talking about?
