Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. I just want to make clear that everyone here wants you to succeed.

But you are not--you can't commit that they will be sold, even though they bought, some at your urging?

I think it is Congress' responsibility to look at the whole picture of this economic impact.

What is so puzzling for so many of our dealers in Minnesota, is that some of these dealers were actually doing pretty well.

I don't like to see our people suffer like they are.

Can they still appeal?

Some of our dealers want more time and then some of our dealers feel that they should be able to stay in business because they are profitable.

And we have many dealers, of course, that invested $5 million that got the cars when you guys asked them to get the cars, and so they clearly feel that they haven't been treated fairly here.

I just wanted to say to the Chairman that I don't think it's uncomfortable to be talking about this.

So redistribute to you means 100 percent commitment that they will be sold?

They will all be redistributed. They will all be sold to other dealers, if that's--I don't want to get caught up by terminology.

I said that day that a bridge just should not fall down in the middle of America.

We care so much about making this plan work.

I think we all know that Minnesota has an abundance of travel and vacation opportunities, and I want to make sure that our tourism continues to be strong and a vital part of our economy.

Byron Dorgan and I are sponsoring the Travel Promotion Act.

Your leadership on this issue is essential to making our voices heard in Minnesota and nationwide and in passing this long-awaited legislation.

Thank you for your leadership in calling these series of hearings on our industry's behalf.

The goal of this bill is to increase the number of potential international visitors to the United States.
