Okay. Moving on to page 12-36. Again an information item, work performed on behalf of others. Mr. Yakeleya.
Total contributions $115,000. Agreed?
Moving on to page 12-18, activity summary, minerals and petroleum resources, grants and contributions, contributions, $895,000. Mr. Yakeleya.

I think that we have to look at that technology, and more importantly, expand it to other communities where we have facilities, like I say, just in a couple of feet, a couple of yards from the power plant...
