In any case, what we are doing, inside the setting of examinations, is to see what we can manage without decision out the likelihood of indictment, without decision out the likelihood of returning to what has been done, and afterward without decision out whatever in the long run that may come, as far as doing equity to what gets similarly as OPL 245 is in question.
