Yeah, so look, I'm working directly in cooperation with the Venezuelans and we, and we are going to. This is, this is the crude that's backed up in onshore storage and that's in offshore floating storage. We're going to get that crude moving again and sell it just like we did in our businesses. We're going to market the crude coming out of Venezuela. First this backed up stored oil and then indefinitely going forward we will sell the production that comes out of Venezuela into the marketplace. (06:22–06:27)
