That is Something Congress is trying to work on once more. Well come back to that a little later in the discussion. Same question, dave over to you. I think there is a real opportunity for us to be able to accelerate. The challenges we need to be more deliberate around the way that we are experimenting with this technology. The dialogues ive been having with some leadership is a renewed enthusiasm around taking emerging technology and the war fighters getting together we were trying to figure out what is the potential of the technology but in many ways, like my house, i cant anticipate how they are going to use it. They have far better ways to see it then we do.
