And we wonder, are we going to see more escalating costs, and then you--or Dr. Lubchenco--has to go to other services, like the Weather Service, which we're so dependent upon, to pay for the increase in the satellite program.

Yes, but that's not $87 million. So, you want to hire more commercial officers to be in foreign countries.

Well, thank you very much. Last year, the Commerce--Justice made sure that we carved out $2 million for your office to help with the oversight, not to do it in a schoolmarmish way, but we need a lot of red alerts and alarms and--to know…

Well, we want to elaborate on that more, because I think you shared, in our office visit, the fact that you actually want to be running workshops around the country to do that.

So, they have to be hired and have their--remember that famous background check----that gave us pause last year, because of access to vulnerable populations with an official badge from the United States of America?

We need a lot of red alerts and alarms and--to know where, as you say, kind of like the dash--the lights on a dashboard--where are we in this process?

I think those are very good observations.

Oh, we inherited a mess from the last administration, but we did.

Do you have any advice and direction on things that we could actually be doing right now, working with the--working with Commerce--Census, so that we don't have more cost overruns?

Well, I want to get right to the information technology issues and I'm going to translate that to the words of cybersecurity.

I would welcome your--once again, your participation.

We need to have strong management at NOAA, and we'll come back to that.

That's how we'll do it, but we're--again, we're into the cost overrun.
