In this regard, those agencies need to set up a conference call in the next two weeks to discuss that issue with experts on that market from Border and Northern. This will not be an on-the-record deposition. It will be a conf. call and what I expect to be an informal question and answer session on what we know. Representatives of the Wisconsin and Illinois Attorney General's office (or whatever agency it is in those states that deals with antitrust issues) will be on the phone as they are working with the Feds on the merger. I think either one of you guys, with appropriate supervision, would do a fine job. Please let me and Mike know who gets the black bean and what your general availability is and we'll get it set up. Thanks. DF
