Why does it have to be encrypted?

Are there large categories of items you are looking for, like fire issues and like plumbing and whatever type issues?

How much money in your proposed appropriation, how much money are you requesting for citation-related projects?

Okay. And is there a long-term plan on the Power Plant?

And, but it does sound like there are some hazards like the Cannon stairwell that doesn't go away, that you have to just at some point work through that?

And do you have a design on a fix for that?

But I think you are requesting $11 million worth of projects in fiscal year 2010 for energy reduction.

I have a concern about doing counterintelligence as well.

And basically, those 1,800 officers--I mean, is it fair to say that they are basically covering about a 300-acre area?

But you can't say, well, we are going to spend $11 million, and then we will make that money back over a 3-year period?
