Mr. SONNEK. Private indvistry provides most of their helium as Hquid, in Hquid, over-the-road semi-trailers. Probably your question relates to the fact that a lot of our helium is shipped, particularly to the Cape, in railroad tank cars. These are in use because we have had these for some 30 or 40 years. I am not sure how much cheaper this might be or higher costs. But, a study was made. We do know that if NASA was to go from our inventory using the tank cars that they would have a cost of, oh,... $6, $7, $8 milUon to go to equipment that would allow them to use the liquid helium. Dale, can you respond to that any further? Mr. BiPPUS. The only thing I would add is that we do transport our product as a gas. Therefore, we don't incur the additional cost of hquefaction. But, they are correct in saying that it is cheaper. But, we would have had to buy additional containers. So, we stayed with the gas system. Chairman Lehman. Thank you very much. Are there any other questions from members of the panel?
