I noticed that there has been a lot of violence around the border area--especially to the south of us, but certainly it is spilling over into the United States.

That would be great.

I would like to see a breakdown of each of those and how much we are paying per year.

Well, we could go on and on about this. I have several pages of questions and probably what I will do is submit a few to you all in writing along with some of the other senators who could not be here today.

Yes, I do.

the administration believes that the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program, the PTFP, at NTIA is no longer needed now that the digital transition is complete.

Okay. And does it sound like they are taking those steps?

Okay. So, do you have a set of recommendations on how they should handle this?

Is part of that the contractor issue, where they contract some of this out?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

You would be saving $500,000 over what you are paying currently.
