That is called takings, and that is the third antienvironmental vote we took. Let me do one more question. If there was a forest fire and the trees burned out, and we are now looking at all this charred timber out there, and a lumber company says I can still harvest some of the timber, even though it is charred, we can still harvest some of this timber. So the lumber company makes a deal they will buy the charred timber and replant the forest. Would it make sense to the gentleman that we would allow the lumber company to go in and harvest the charred timber and replant the forest, as opposed to leaving the charred timber to stay there to rot?
