I want to tell you, too, that revenue sharing looks very good.
We think we may get it next week.
We're going to have a ceremony at the White House, and there'll be a touch of the whole group to come down.
It'll be a good thing for all the cities, and good for Elizabeth, which is all right for you, too, huh?
Right.
Oh, well, it's the only time anybody knows I call a football player.
Right.
Right.
We appreciate your support very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Bye.
