I don't know if anybody can second-guess what they will do on Capitol Hill.

It's hard to compare. Different times, different players. The administration four years ago did not have 9/11. I could tell you this; this particular administration was better suited to handle that than the former.

If we get the donations, I think we're going to raise a significant amount of money; some will be used for some administered costs, but the public portion of that will go directly into grants.

As soon as we find a cure, we will utilize any of the donations to go toward providing medication to those who can't afford it. That is my goal.
