It is essential that we take immediate action to protect the public from this health threat.

What are the USTR, USDA, State Department, et cetera, doing to try to ensure that our exports of pork products are not affected by this?

My question is, first, what are the criteria for deciding whether to order production, and second, when will that decision be made?

Do you need any more money to do this?

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

But the policy is that if they are former staffers, they shouldn't be there.

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.

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.
