As Dan said, it's going to be able to deliver critical minerals, strategic metals, but it's also going to be able to deliver timber once we get our timber industry up and going here again as well. But it's also going to be a port that's going to end at the port, and hopefully we get the port built up too so we can intake and export from two of our great ports here in Southcentral Alaska. So I want to thank all these guys. And there's one last person I want to thank, and he became a really good friend of mine during the dark years of the Biden administration. And that's Congressman Westerman from Arkansas.
