Jeff Denham

You have drastically changed the scope of this project from a 1.1-million-square-foot project.

I would expect you to come back to Congress then, not when you get to 110 or 115 or 120 percent of the cost.

My position stands very clear, that this is something that is not only a waste but something that we need to be looking at expediting the sale of this Spring Street Building.

$365 million, and I am also looking at the prospectus that came before this committee in 2008 asking for $700 million.

I want to make sure this doesn't end up like the Old Post Office that sits for two decades.

This committee expected, clearly, in writing, expected that the $400 million that was allocated was going to have two 100 percent fully utilized courtrooms.

Yes. And you are changing that proposal. The scope of the project has changed.

If you are drastically changing a building that has been appropriated and been approved by this committee, if the scope is drastically changed and you went from 50 courtrooms to 20 courtrooms, I would expect you to come back.

My concern is that you are not. My concern is that you are waiting until 20 or 30 or 40 percent.

So if you have $50 million that you are going to spend to meet the original prospectus, which says 'continued use of all existing courtrooms in the Roybal Federal Building,' under the same prospectus you need an additional $50 million that…

Well, it sounds like you are trying to confuse everybody here.

your current model shows about 1.5 to 2 hours courtroom use per judge per courtroom?

The scope has definitely changed on this project several times.
