something that we could get a lot further with if we were to reverse the, if we were to reverse addressing the questions in that order. So, I absolutely agree with Mary Howell on that one. And I think any recommendations that we have we want to make sure doesn’t divide agriculture as we’ve heard and also doesn’t undermine acceptance of any form of agriculture, whether it’s organic, whether it’s other IP, whether it’s biotech. And, and, and I think that Josette’s point as well, that she raised earlier, about economic benefit is something that we don’t want to lose sight of. That is a, that is a, a great benefit for folks that grow identity preserved crops, whether it’s organic or white corn or, or whatever it might be. And, and I think that we really need to think, we need to make sure as a committee that we are thinking holistically about these issues, including policy, potential policy implications. We can’t think about these in a vacuum. I also don’t think that we can guard against any risk, you, you know, one in a trillion, is the USDA going to make, for example, a policy decision to guard against a one in a million or whatever the risk might be? And, and I think that’s something that we, we all need to take into account as we, as we write our report. MR. REDDING: Thank you. Chuck? I’m sorry,
