I was under the impression that the period went INSIDE the parentheses.   I 
had to go looking.   It doesn't.  

I found the answer here:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rule 3. Periods go inside parentheses only if an entire sentence is inside 
the parentheses.

Example
Please read the analysis (I enclosed it as Attachment A.).  OR
Please read the analysis. (I enclosed it as Attachment A.)  OR
Please read the analysis (Attachment A).
