i have been named to the trade advisory council. my background check was held up because of the government shutdown, that will be an opportunity to give input into the administration. i found when i pick up the phone and ask to talk to ambassador lighthizer or sonny perdue, whatever the reason, the administration has been responsive to get back and listen to what we say. last year, the last chief of staff said the first question the president asked on policy issue is what do the governors think? he has told his cabinet, go out and talk to governors, talk to people in the states. we have seen that here in nebraska. we have had sonny perdue here three times. we have had secretary devos here. this administration is making an effort to reach out and talk to governors and people in the states when they think about foreign policy. >> if the administration is accessible and there is a deal going on, i am wondering what discussions have you had with them on this deal. you said they are easy to get in touch with, but you have not talked with
