However, I also understand that the committee and the Pentagon have certain parameters within they work to determine military construction dollars. I understand that one of the reasons Fort Stewart is not gaining authorization for military construction projects is that the projects I requested were not in the Pentagon's FYDP and that the committee uses the FYDP as its guide for authorizing military construction dollars. Is that correct?
