I mean I am hearing--there is some evidence that would suggest that the hedges and speculation have some effect to what--and I want to understand exactly----

And I am also wondering whether or not that is affecting your analysis on commodity markets just in general in the context of your examination of that rulemaking.

The Chairman is always very patient with me. I am always over time, and I am going to take you up on your offer to come meet with me.

Thank you again for coming out to the WIPP facility last August. That meant an enormous amount to the community and especially to the workers.

I am hopeful that a constructive dialogue over the State of New Mexico's fines for the Department can continue along that line.

I know I am out of time, and anything else that we can do to support you to do that oversight, you can count on my office.

I think that you have done an outstanding job investing in the state, and really taking a look.

New Mexico still ranks last. We are the worst for child hunger.

We don't want to see any of these pilots, or these initiatives, cause more hunger in the state.

Our unemployment is much higher than the national average.

Thank you for coming to New Mexico, and meeting with me, and our farmers and ranchers.

Programs that help provide sustainable water management are crucial and need to be adequately funded.

I really appreciate your good bipartisan work.

It is a big issue, and it is more than just the $10 million to the City of Rio Rancho.

Many native communities in New Mexico do not have adequate water infrastructure, and in some cases, no running water at all.

If it were not for leasing water, the river would go dry, and there would be no water to sustain the endangered species in the river.

I want to take a minute to congratulate Commissioner Estevan Lopez, the new Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation.

It is important that the Corps continues to work with local interests and listen to local people.
