I really want to thank you all for being here. I am just glad that somebody is paying attention to all of this, and I am hoping that your work and the work of many others around the country will lead to better preparedness.

Does the proximity of the Little Rock Air Force Base help?

Given the size of the project, I am just concerned--I want to make sure, I should say, that every step of it is properly competitively bid.

I know that you are very aware of that, but I am glad to see that there are a number of Federal agencies, including the FBI, who are trying to work on this.

That would be great.

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

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

Let us see. Let me ask, if I may, Terry, about the $1.2 million request to relocate your printing, graphics, and direct mail operation.

The total cost of this project is how much?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

So it sounds like a lot of that will save the taxpayers money, if not in the first year, but in the out-years you will save?

Just one thing I would worry about are the bridges over the Mississippi River depending on how bad this thing is.
