We are not, however, lobbyists and do not operate in that arena. Our relationships are deep and wide and have lasted through many years and many administrations. We are not particularly close to this administration and have a different vision. This administration is beleaguered by major issues that are not soon to be resolved. In the meantime, we continue to forge ahead in forward thinking endeavors that create real value both here in the United States and abroad. Our primary interest is and always has been to advance the interests of the United States through productive collaborations with partners home and abroad.<br \/>If this is in keeping with the vision of His Excellency, on behalf of the Biden family, I welcome your interest here. I recommend Dr. Rustom arrange a conference call to discuss the way moving forward and perhaps a face to face meeting in New York or Qatar with you and His Excellency.
