I don't think they have, though. I can't tell - and am trying to reach (b) (6) - but I think this just
eliminates 55 miles of VF that they wouldn't be able to build in '08 because of the need to construct
long access roads.

Thanks (b) I'm not sure this still addresses the general issue that sbi believes there's a need for 102
additional
(6)miles of vf in '09.

It looks as though it was already taken out. You just weren’t attached.
