1 Clearly, a lot of our concern is generated by the commercial species 



2 because those are the ones where we run into problems, but I don't think 



3 we want--I would never say that we just wanted to study commercial 



4 species because you can't understand what is going on if all you are 



5 going to look at is two or three commercial species, 



6 I would say we probably would not be interested in spreading out 



7 geographically all over the place. What we want to do is understand 



8 what is going on in the areas where we are likely to have an oil and gas 



9 impact. 



10 We do want to try to understand what the processes are that are 



11 influencing the system. Tomorrow morning? I've had enough. You can 



12 all get together, you can caucus tonight and come back with a minority 



13 opinion if you want to, but remember, there aren't going to be as many 



14 people here tomorrow.
