Dan Coats actually said...

I think what I heard you say is, is that the expenditures to date, the $35 billion distributed across the country regardless of the size of community and so forth, that you are saying that base capabilities are essentially funded to this point, and, therefore, we have the luxury now of focusing more of these grants toward the critical areas?

Context

Coats emphasizes the need to focus grants on critical areas after prior funding.
