Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I do not know why NorthwesTel wants $20 million. I am just going to speculate that if long distance competition comes in and an outside company would probably grab the lucrative long distance market in our major communities that would leave the outlying smaller communities without a way of subsidizing their operation as it currently is. I am just speculating on that. Thank you.
