You have to get all kinds of approval from China, and you have to get approval to ship -- well, the person who did that in my lab at the time did all that paperwork. But you had to have export approvals to send the stuff, and so it took -- all I remember is it took about a year and a half to get all the paperwork done to ship the mice.

But the Federal Government was aware, by export. I mean, it's not like they were unaware that this was being shipped. You had to fill out export control documents.
