I personally am willing to stay here until the cows come home if we can deal with this tonight, tomorrow or whatever. I think as I have walked around these halls the last several days that there is a toll-free number in Grand Forks that our friend from Grand Forks established, which I think is 1-888-74-FLOOD, is what I understand, where people if they are tuned into this, they can call there and offer their assistance. I would guess it would be greatly appreciated. I just wanted to make that remark to all of us. If we have folks out there who would like to help, let us let them help. But if it takes us staying here to get the job done, count me in.
