And the final part is once we--how are we doing improving getting rid of surplus property, in your mind?

How difficult would it be to get it into one database some day?

What is it going to take to get it all done?

I was troubled that since then, we determined that GAO has updated its a high risk series for the sixth consecutive Congress, Federal real property management was on the list.
