They testified before the state public Works Community including delaware and wyoming and colorado, and chairman John Barrasso serves as is the rea n Ranking Member. Good morning.

It does not matter the setting of rural or not. The impact is going to be particularly counter productive if they do not apply the kif frens of urban and rural.
