00:00One quick FAA. We are about to put out a request for proposals for a big
00:07beautiful bill. We got $12.5 billion in the big beautiful bill.
00:13We need more but this is a great start. I expect the middle till the later part
00:19of July will be through the process to bring the proposed integrators to you
00:23for selection so we're looking forward to that. We will have the most of
00:26learning from you. This is going to be the greatest contract ever crafted in the
00:31federal government for this build for air traffic control. Really it's
00:35innovative and we have unique tools at FAA. It's going to be a great great
00:39contract. Bobby left me out of the windmill conversation, Bobby, but I so there was a
00:44study done in the last administration that said if you build windmills 1.2
00:50miles within 1.2 miles from a roadway it can mess up the the automation and
00:56technology on a car. Same thing 1.2 miles from rail. The last administration
01:01buried that report Mr. President and so now what we've said is what we're going to
01:06do is say listen I'm sorry it is a safety risk to build windmills this close to
01:10roads. By the way they want to build them by roads and by rail. We're going to say no
01:14more it is a safety risk and we have a report to show that. And just real quick.
01:18That's a good idea. That's great. Good team effort. I wasn't invited to the party but you
01:23know I'm still going to go to the party. Maybe next time Bobby.
