Mr. Griffith, I think one of the most important things that you're going to do is keep an eye on the iaea, the International Atomic Energy Agency. I visited [the International Atomic Energy Agency] some years back and I was aghast. I wasn't there very long, but I'll tell you, it didn't take me long to figure out those guys had no idea what they were doing and how disorganized they were. and carrying out a function that is incredibly important to the world under the new leadership they have. It is very different than that. (04:38–04:54)
