Just a question to take under 15 advisement, if it would be possible to inform the 16 public as to who else is going to be testifying on 17 behalf of the applicant, what their purview would 18 be, I think it maybe would make these proceedings 19 more -- flow better perhaps so that people can 20 understand who else is yet to testify and whether 21 certain people will be back to testify and whether 22 they can answer, at least broadly speaking, you 23 know, certain types of questions that have been 24 asked tonight where the answer was "That's not my 25 purview" or "That will be," you know, "somebody Page 221 1 MR.
