Let me just say. if I can. that there has been an extraordinary response. We want to say thank you to the power companies that supply North Dakota for flying in extra crews from around the country to help out. I want to take this moment to especially thank our neighbors to the north. because the Governor informed me last Monday that we were faced with a situation in which Manitoba Hydro wanted to send in crews to help us restore power lines. but they were being held up at the border by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. We called them and they immediately gave us a 2week waiver on all of their requirements at the border. and Manitoba Hydro sent in over 100 people. crews. to help rebuild power lines in North DakotaI think just an extraordinary act of neighborliness by our neighbors to the north in Canada. We deeply appreciate their action.
