At Travelers, We Were Much More Opportunistic. It Was Very Successful, But It Wasn't An Integrated Financial Services Company. We Had A Property Casualty Company, A Life Company, A Brokerage Company. We Were A Financial Conglomerate. It Wasn't A Unified, Coordinated Strategy Of Any Sort. When It Merged With Citi, That Became A Big Issue; Citi, At That Time, Wasn't Yet A Fully Integrated, Coordinated Company.

The Best Thing To Do Is Muddle Through And Maybe, Over Time, Create A Solution Of That, If Someone Really Wanted To Exit, The Legal Basis On Which You Could Exit. Because Right Now There Almost Doesn't Exist One.

I Want You To Say To Me Right From The Start, "we Are Here To Serve Customers. We're Not Here For Me To Make A Lot Of Money. We're Not Here To Bet On Interest Rates Or Credit Spreads. We Are Here To Serve Our Customers Really Well Over A Long Period Of Time, And That's How You Build A Successful Business." And So I Want To See That, Too, You Know?
