Final question on this. Will Congress be able to really do anything on this issue to stop this type of money coming into these universities? Look, I hope so. One of the very first pieces of legislation that I passed 13 years ago was legislation that banned Defense Department money from going to universities that have Confucius Institutes. Confucius Institutes were paid for by the Chinese Communist government. They were at universities all over the country. I got that through. I got that passed and signed into law, actually got bipartisan support for it. (19:07–19:20)
