The President's budget request included an additional $700 million for the Columbia above the expected fiscal year 2021 estimates due to an updated cost estimate assessment and a program evaluation review.

Just on your question, Ms. Costello, I wasn't clear on the answer. So how much time are we set back by the Air Force One program right now? Is it significant?

the automatic door openers. As you and I both know, those doors can be quite heavy, some of them.

You are spot on, on that comment.

I think things have just taken a lot longer to get where we need to get.

It allows someone with a disability to kind of get a feel for the job.

The Supreme Court Olmstead decision, for example, that people with disabilities have a right to live actively, independently in their communities.

I think what we are going through with the pandemic and the shift to remote teleworking, and then also our needs in the area of cybersecurity, and certainly how people with disabilities could have plenty of opportunity to contribute…

Certainly, what is the bipartisan, bicameral Civics Secures Democracy Act of 2021 is a good start.
