I wanted to note, I want you to know this goes beyond just the travel budget. We have instances pointed out by Vice President Gore in his National Performance Review that the Department of Energy, in their environmental management area, has missed 20 percent of their milestones, which means they are behind schedule. They are 40 percent inefficient. It could cost us $70 billion over the next 30 years. I think Vice President Gore's National Performance Review is clear we need to do something about the management practices at the Department of Energy.
