I agree with the gentleman partially, except that I intentionally put in the language that would allow this to happen. The only problem is that every source we have gone to has said no, it will not happen. The gentleman is correct, there is no money to make it happen. And we tried every effort, whether it was 29 Palms or whether it was March or what, we thought it was a better avenue. I still do. The language is in there that would allow it, but none of the sources that would allow us to do that at this time will allow it to happen.
