This could be our third victory, Dr. Padron, small victories, but we're going to figure out some way to do this.

Back to some of your testimony, Mr. Smith. You talked about the savings on space, disposing of excess space or properties.
We have a vacant building. We will probably have to put utilities in part of that anyway, which is extra cost that we have incurred for at least five years.
And I thought you also gave us--from 2005, was it your region, I hope it wasn't nationally, that we realized $20.3 million from properties that were disposed?
But again, what I want to envision is that by June or six months, I don't know, from this date, what is going to happen in what sequence?
We held that hearing, for the information of those here, I believe it was in February.
I did a hearing in Washington at the vacant power station building behind the Ritz Carlton on some pretty valuable real estate.
If worse comes to worst and we can't get it for Miami-Dade College, then we have to get this off the taxpayer deficit column, out of the deficit column and into a productive column.
We are supposed to have $3 billion in savings, as Mr. Smith reported. Since 2005, in this region, we have actually realized $20 million.
