Would you like to think about it, brian . Go ahead. I do not mean to interrupt. I just wanted to clarify we are very sensitive to what you say about that number. As a 5 million number that you are referring to covers both people with security clearances as well as people eligible for access. And being sensitive to that number as you mentioned 5 million of anything is a lot. Is. Spin and because of that, recently and speak of the devil as you mentioned, on halloween, the dni signed an executive correspondence going out to all of the Government Agencies stating that they need to they are required to go through their clearance list and validate the numbers and come back to the people that are being decreased from the clearances and get back with us with that information.
