Second, we discussed at some length ``deemed unnecessary because of more technologically appropriate monitoring.'' This escape was created because the Senator from Louisiana noted some lines have constant monitoring. They do not need to be inspected every 5 years because they are inspected every minute. That was our intent here, not that someone comes forward and says: We think that is a well-designed pipeline and well done, so leave that one for 20 years. This was, as the Senator noted, because of constant monitoring. Is that the understanding of the Senator from Louisiana?
