My amendment says that if we build the keystone Keystone Pipeline, we keep that oil here, we keep that oil here. We keep the diesel, the jet fuel the heating oil we keep it all all here. Because if we send it abroad

What we are finding in stem and we find this in the shuttle days we would have the Cruise Events and the students would ask lots of questions about what its like to fly and what it feels like it is those things. The other one is nearterm successes and events. We are starting to make a lot of progress.
