I want to thank you for your willingness to come to North Dakota.

We need markets for that gas.

Thank you, Madam Chairman. I want to thank all of you for being here.

Mr. Ayers, thanks for being here, and we look forward to working with you on your budget, to do the best job we possibly can with the resources we have.

Well, thank you both very much. Thank you for testifying here today and for all of the good work that you do for all of us here in the Capitol area and also for the taxpayers of this country.
