My question on the deauthorizing commission would be why would they not take into consideration all of the things the Senator just mentioned before they would recommend deauthorizing a program, if, in fact, the only reason they would not deauthorize it was because it was spending money that is not going to have a positive purpose. So my question is, you trust the deauthorizing committee for all these other areas, but you do not trust their judgment to look at projects that are ongoing. Why would we think they would not make a positive decision in the best interests of the country?
