I simply want to respond to my colleague that was just speaking. This area is within those exterior boundaries of the archeological sites and findings and indigenous lands that we referred to as Chaco. I would invite my colleague to come…

I think the gentleman and I may actually be able to find some common ground. There are available technologies today--as the gentleman may know, being in tune with modern technology associated with oil and gas exploration--that can identify…
