[laughter] >> i chose not to believe it, but i did hear it. >> no, it was. i had several conversations with chris dodd, and he didn't want to do it, but then he became convinced that because they were talking about putting your organization at that time down on the federal reserve building, and as i drive by it, i just see a lawn, a
