Your colleagues are supposed, and no, no, there was one person was in, they were both in the National Academy of Science.
They're the ones that are supposed to be putting me up for this.
One of them was a Nobel Prize winner, and the other one wasn't a Nobel Prize winner, but he was in the National Academy.
And just so that your audience knows, it was not Rick Smalley.
Rick Smalley was a good friend of mine, a Nobel Prize winner, so it was not him.
It was two other people.
And they told me, Jim, you're not going to get in the National Academy of Science because you signed that statement.
I said, what statement?
What are you talking about?
That statement, that came to me in an email and they said, could you agree to this?
I said, sure, I could agree to that.
Who wouldn't agree to that?
So I said to this one, the one who was a Nobel Prize winner and this other, I said, you know, I have done as much as anybody getting into the Academy.
And the one Nobel Prize winner said, no, Jim.
You've done as much, you've done twice as much and you're not getting in, twice as much.
So that is real.
Now I'm in the National Academy of Engineering.
Because of that statement?
Because of that statement, that's what they said.
And I said to them, what is it on this statement that you don't like?
