It is significant and Members should understand that we have made special provision in our budget resolution to see to it that the contracting officers of the full military services have the budget authority backup needed to continue the privatization plan for expanding and improving military housing. Without the action we take, without the additional budget authority we provide these contracting officers, military housing will come to a trickle, if not a screeching halt. We provide that in our budget resolution. In addition, I would say to the gentleman in the well just now talking about NASA that we provide $4.875 billion over 5 years more than the House budget resolution for the projects that he was just praising.
