I think these are important steps. <br />It's important to continue in that direction. <br />But I think this issue is scheduled for a public <br />hearing today, but I feel there hasn't been <br />adequate preparation to allow the public to <br />participate intelligently in the public hearing. <br />I think Mr. Cook has a good point. It's <br />difficult to know pro or con because we <br />don't know enough about it. There are a <br />number of important questions. Why is this <br />being done at all? We have a corridor <br />program, as I understand now, that's being <br />28 <br />
