We have a letter here from the Governor of the State of Illinois, Governor Jim Edgar who is a Republican governor and form the leadership in the Republican governor and from the leadership in the Republican governor and from the leadership in the Republican State legislature, both Senate and House, who do not want this project terminated because they know what it means to the high-sulfur coal industry and the future of this industry. So we are not speaking here in a partisan way. That is a very bipartisan concern of the people back in Illinois to help this country with respect to the high-sulfur coal industry.
