Seeking recommendation to award this to your contract to university of maryland in an amount not to exceed to conduct this case study. Happy to answer any questions. tkpwh thank you. I think this is a great idea. I know theres been a lot of some controversy around some Public Private partnerships with t 3, particularly relating to [inaudible] drive so it seems to me this study will be useful not in terms of a back ward look in this particular project but in helping you form future decisions here and elsewhere about whether to proceed with that private partnership so i think this was a terrific idea and im glad its happening.
