I know they're talking about different kinds of sanctions, but they're spending 110 billion dollars on military equipment and on things that create jobs, like jobs, and others, for this country. I don't like the concept of stopping an investment of 110 billion dollars into the United States, because you know what they're going to do? They're going to take that money and spend it in Russia or China, or someplace else. So, I think there are other ways - if it turns out to be as bad as it might be - there are certainly other ways of handling this situation. But I will tell you, up front, right now, and I'll say it in front of senators: They're spending 110 billion dollars purchasing military and other things. If we don't sell it to 'em, they'll say, well, thank you very much, we'll buy it from Russia or thank you very much we'll buy it from China. That doesn't help us, not when it comes to jobs, and not when it comes to our companies losing out on that work. But there are other things we can do. Let's find out what the problem is first, okay? I oppose... I would not be in favor of stopping a country from spending a hundred and ten billion dollars - which is an all-time record - and letting Russia have that money and letting China have that money. Because all they're going to do is say, that's okay, we don't have to buy it from Boeing, we don't have to buy it from Lockheed, we don't have to buy it from Raytheon and all these great companies. We'll buy it from Russia, we'll buy it from China. So what good does that do us? There are other things we can do. They'll be something that has to take place. First I want to find out what happened, and we're looking. Again, this took place in Turkey, and to the best of our knowledge, Khashoggi is not a United States citizen. Is that right, or is that right? He's a permanent resident, okay. We don't like it, Johh, we don't like it, and we don't like it even a little bit.
