There must be some way to make it right. I would again then like to thank you very, very much for this opportunity. I enjoyed your questions. I know I must do a little bit more on the property tax. That wasn ' t one of my main things, as you know. I 'm really better on the other ones. But still it gives us something to work on as well as you. I certainly hope that you will take into consideration the things that we have brought up because it does represent many, many people in Kona. The concerns-are there and we feel very strongly about this. CHAIRMAN SAKATA: We do thank you for your concern and appearing before us. Thank you very much., MS.
