Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder about the legal aspects of transferring an environmental liability from a government to a private agency. Have you looked at the legal parameters of that? It does not matter whether they take over an asset or what not of this government, it is still a liability of this government. If we know we have developed certain tank farms or what not in an environmentally sensitive area and we have had leaks that have been detected through tests, I wonder what the liability aspect is on the legal side of this government transferring assets knowing that we have an environmental liability or price tag attached to that. We cannot just automatically, by transferring an asset to a private company or organization, renege on our liabilities, especially when it comes to environmental liabilities for cleanup.
