Thanks very much, and when we get to the Q&A, I am going to be asking you--you talked about the declining awarding of award-fee contracts over the last couple of years, and one of the questions I will be asking you is: Is there anything that those relatively few contracts awarded in the last couple of years have in common? Why are they appropriate and the others were not? Thanks.

Context

Carper plans to question the criteria for recent award-fee contracts.
