What I really would like to hear from you on this question is what are some economic opportunities that the Commission has recognized, identified, that maybe should be pursued, or should be pursued somehow differently.

I want to ask you to come back to this a little bit more.

I think it could be useful, yes.

It is a little hard to understand at the end of the day how you got to a number like that.

That was over, what, a couple of years?

I would just ask that the people you have work on this stuff, put that in their calculations.

Let me just throw out an idea here. I am trying to be entrepreneurial and trying to think of ways that you could be more entrepreneurial.

I think Mr. Potter would--and he has argued here before--to point out, I think with some pride, the amount of costs that they have taken out of the system in this decade alone.

How widely known are those options, Mr. Potter? Have you done any surveying on that to find out just how many people actually realize what their options are?

I think you are going to tell us, but why?

I think there is some agreement, at least among Senator Collins, Senator Lieberman, and myself, that if we are not comfortable going with 8 years, we may be comfortable going with 2 years.
