I find that it doesn't look the same as the one we were discussing in those previous years, and so it seems to be apparent that you have written a new mission statement.

Thank you. And will you commit to work to solve this particular issue expeditiously and to work with myself and the OMB to modify the metrics that the Corps utilizes so we can stop discounting the rural areas such as Iowa and other…
