The only thing I would add is that I think we have to focus on Manzano business while we are there.  One of the things we learned was that unlike two years ago when we were there there is a heightened interest in renewable energy.  One of the things I learned when I was IDB was that they are very interested and into providing financing for mega- wind and solar projects in the Americas.  They are currently providing the financing and grants for development of largest wind project in Mexico.  We should look into bringing all the pieces together under the Manzano flag to develop alt energy projects with IDB in Argentina.
