In the broad framework, we are likely to see things we havent anticipated. We have to be flexible and be willing to change given the specifics of whatever it is is were dealing with. But for the way we are partnered, it hasnt been adversarial at all. It has been a great team. I would like to jump in on that sir. I would like to give a shoutout.

Time in this is critical, so getting your perspective on how you will accomplish that, strategically within the planning sense but also in allocating resources. Mr. Work i will take that for the record, sir. Ashford i want to pick up on something admiral rogers and mr. Work mentioned a few minutes ago about the government shutdown. I have been sitting here since february, and i admire everyone on this committee. I have learned a great deal. I have been here eight months. I am from nebraska.
