Time. The presiding officer without objection. Ms. Cantwell thank you mr. President. I thank the senator from north dakota. I know were going to be going back and forth on this issue and that we have speakers coming later this morning and were going to have time divided but i appreciate the senator of north dakota allowing us to join in the debate this morning and make a few mountains. And i do want to say i appreciate the senator from north dakotas hard work on the Energy Committee in general and i look forward to working with him on many Energy Policies.

Hamm but when as a date certain that these initiatives collide if you well with production, and when do we hit that misalignment or that mismatch that would then cause some disruption and something that i think that we shall try to avoid.
