the concern that we have about the amendment that my colleague has placed out as his amendment, while there are negotiations going on in Colorado, the Romer negotiations, your amendment gives tremendous leverage to the opponents of the project.

We are under a time limitation, a contractual time limitation, to deliver this project to the Native Americans to avoid being in breach of contract.
