We have a good offer on the table, but we still have a $200-million gap between our two positions, so that will require significant conversation and (movement by) both parties.

It's going to be decided. If we can't agree, it will be decided by an arbitrator using whatever form he chooses.

It still seems to be at the crest all along [the river]. We still can't seem to get any declines going. But in the next few days it should turn around.

It's going to be a while?before levels fall. It's going to be a slow decline, and the rain will serve to reduce that rate of decline on the Red River. There will be access problems for probably another week or so, or even longer.

Definitely we're at the peak of it but we still can't relax too much.

In the south, it looks pretty optimistic. If the weather is good from now on, we'll have minimal problems.
