I think in sum what I learned was that the process that we are undertaking right now is not simply downsizing, but it is really smart-sizing and right-sizing the Federal Government, because there is more to it than just reducing spending. There is also things, like we undertook today adoption of the lockbox legislation, like procurement reform, all of which lead to just more efficient, more effective, and less costly Government. So the undertakings that we are in the process of doing really are all geared toward that. We have to continue to listen and learn from our constituents, and then, of course, lead. I think it is important that we stay on our mission of finding a fiscally responsible and accountable Federal Government and keep our eye on the ball as we go along.
