We are facing, as I said, a situation that reminds me a little bit of this in Delaware in realtime. Our school construction issue at the Dover Air Force Base and the safety issues there that are related to it have led my staff--my Delaware staff--and me to work with the Army Corps of Engineers in order to make sure that the issues that are particular to the Dover Air Force Base and to our school at that base-- it is actually a replacement school--are addressed. So, again, I am more than just a little bit interested and concerned about the issues that are outlined here.…”
