So thank you for that. With respect to the bill, Mr. Chairman, 48 years ago, Doyon Limited selected the Geese House site a sacred rock formation at the heart of Interior Alaska, for conveyance under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Doyon shareholders identified this place as one of only a handful of physically defined cultural sites important enough to select by name. They have been waiting ever since. The Geese House site is not a building.
