On the recordApril 17, 1996
we developed a set of criteria by which projects had to answer, a long list of questions. One of those questions at the very top was about whether the State supported the project or not. We did not put a project into ISTEA without full 100-percent written testimony from the States that they supported such projects. As I said earlier, these projects were scrutinized, scrubbed, and there was not a one put in there without State support, not without State support.
