Good morning, mr. Chairman. I think the witnesses for coming this morning. An incredibly issue an incredibly important issue we need to care about and make a policy on. Your meeting to discuss the state of cybersecurity and the grid and the continuing threats facing Americas Energy infrastructure.

Board and a response to a recent article that talks about white out for the cameras, and unfortunately, i believe there were several inaccuracies to that article. One of which is that the issue of glare is not unique to the l. R. P. Four or the fact that we use cameras instead of mirrors.

[please stand by] we have, as part of the costing package that we originally brought to you, we have some place holder costs for what we anticipate things to be, so Something Like the flat wheels, which is an issue that both operators and mechanics have been raising for a long time are already built into that overall package that we brought, and at this time, we do not anticipate that package changing significantly, but theres still a lot of work to do as we get to those final estimates.

Then, lastly, i just want to say that the last Strategic Plan that the department has is from 201314. I have discussed this with the president , and the Vice President

The first person who probably had to go through therapy after joining me on this effort was dan mckue our real estate representative and literally we worked for two and a half yeas s to get to this site and bewent through three pricing scoping and buying exercises and so forth. Did you thank you, dan, for working with me and still being able to call me a friend. We also have identified an al allstar team to help us with this kitchen and build it. The first person i mentioned earlier but i want to call out specifically again is mike bal divrks dwin from kitchen concepts. Mike was chosen not because hes one of the best in the field nationally, but because he served for decades in the meals on wheels in anaheim. When i saw his work there, i said youre the right guy for s us. Youre
