They wanted to know how could they keep places safe inside the building, because its so impractical to try to get everybody out all at once in a single shot.

Obviously we have the port that dates back to world war ii in terms of some of its buildings and we have temporary military construction dating back to that time and we are in an aggressive up dating of that facility which is such a key facility for our army and i notice that they even have the nerve to put military construction and to these at aces in the United States in the overseas Contingency Operating funds paid can you comment about how this impacts your ability on readiness and training when you are being put in a fund yeartoyear and not certain and you cant plan with it . Sure senator.
