Okay. Also, in the President's budget, he has $1.36 billion for the new Long Range Strike Bomber; $113 million for a ground-based strategic deterrence; $1.4 billion for the Ohio class submarine--those are nuclear submarines; the new long-range cruise missile, $995 million; to rebuild the B61 bomb, $137 million; and the total amount that the National Nuclear Security Administration is spending this new year, 2017, $9.24 billion. Now, it would seem to me that this is just in the nuclear enterprise. These are our nuclear weapons. So my lobbying is this: When you put together the budget, could you somehow squeeze out of the nuclear arms race that we are engaged in about a billion dollars so that we can stop poisoning our children?
