What are we spending? That is what I am asking. I understand we don't have enough; your point was pretty clear. What are we spending, $2 billion?

Do you get any kind of sense since your testimony in July that any agencies have made any progress?

No, I just want to express again my gratitude for you all for being here today, to continue our work.
