Thank you, Madam Chair.

What we are asking in this request is for the Bureau of Indian Affairs to receive some funding to redress some of those rehabilitation areas within that region.

And what will the mix of the fuel be then at that point that will be available to the Capitol, you know, the source of the energy?

I would share your--I mean, my personal opinion is obviously that the current Senate employees should be given preference.

And I will note that my understanding is--I am getting this from just some research I have done--that when the District of Columbia went to a new system, in the District, it was about $40 million.

Is it your experience that when you bring those to the attention of the individual offices, they get fixed?

I will note that my understanding is--I am getting this from just some research I have done--that when the District of Columbia went to a new system, in the District, it was about $40 million.

And long term, are you looking at replacing the heating and air systems throughout the Capitol complex?

I am glad you are focused on that.

Thank you for coming to Arkansas last week. It was great to have you.

We hope within a few months to announce the final criteria after receiving all of this stakeholder input.

They tried to consolidate the 38 Federal law enforcement assistance programs like COPS, et cetera, into three competitive grant programs.

I would like to see the breakdown.

Do you know how much the encryption adds to the cost?

my personal opinion is obviously that the current Senate employees should be given preference.

I look forward to having the opportunity to work with my colleagues on this subcommittee to consider the budget requests.

I can understand how that would drive the cost, but not to $71 million.
