Finance committee Yes, they paid me a $5,000 honorarium. It doesn't mean I did any work for them. All the research that I did was done long before I gave that talk. I'd just like to come back to the point that you made about foreign philanthropy. I'm all for foreign philanthropy; I worked with th

Finance committee No. My work has not been funded by anyone. I felt this was an important matter of public interest. I tried to find someone who would fund it, and I failed. I couldn't find any—

Vivian Krause
Finance committee I think we all know. I think we'd get—what's the spread now—$20 or $30 a barrel. We're losing enormously. The Americans are getting our oil essentially at a discount, which is probably why they don't want our oil to go to China, because then they'd have to pay more for it.

Finance committee Yes, of course.
