And as to your question, Leslie, who's going to award contracts? The answer is there's a board of peace and we're going to be very, very focused and fastidious about having the best talent there. We're already talking to contractors from all of the Middle Eastern countries because we think there has to be support from them and they know the market in the best way. Will it be transparent? Everything's transparent that we do. Yes. You can't replace a corrupt government with another corrupt government. (36:38–36:49)
