Get together and they just work it out. And then it comes back and everyone is smiling and happy and they pass it and then the bill goes to the president. Its not exactly that way. Its a lot of give and take. Now, sometimes you do have a bill thats not as complex, thats easier and it can go smoothly. But how a bill really becomes a law, you know, it depends on whos in the room, it depends on whats happening nationwide, it depends on who the president is, its so many different things. So we were able to do this. So a year ago we passed it in the senate and tomorrow i believe were going to pass the conference report. The agreement will cost roughly the same as the senatepassed bill and well blow the last wrda bill. I have to say why. Because as we authorize projects, we deauthorized old projects and thats important. So we were able to go almost better than one or one, deauthorizing and authorizing. And also we had a very good talk with the c. B. O. , the congressional budget office, whic

Recently they came back to the port, fortunately, with another space need. This time requesting about 18,500 square feet of of
Second. I havent used this touch pad before. Im jay ock in the maritime department. Maritime regulatory and Environmental Affairs manager. This that capability i manage the ports dredging program and quality air program. Im here to talk about the programs how they work at the shipyard and how they Work Together to promote not only environmental enhancements, particularly air quality enhancements here at the port, but also to provide increased revenues for bae, which means increased revenues for the port, and also increased Union Employment here, maritime related blue collar employment. Now, testing 1, 2, 3. Okay. The genesis for this was the completion of shore side power at the dry dock. This was a requirement Environmental Mitigation for the americas cup to proceed. The port contracted, in essence, with bae to do this work. Bae performed admirably. Got it in and got it done days before the first ship came in and connected, which was Matthew Perry. The Matthew Perry is still in dry do
Power. This came about, in part in large part, due to the fact we had previously constructed shore side power at pier 27.
