I know there were reasons that some felt it couldnt be afforded under the amendment process. which gave the appropriators a requirement to find it within the $30billionplus Homeland Security bill. but we are now in a position where we feel there are funds available that we can utilize to make this step. We believe this is a germane amendment to the Defense bill. The National Guard is going to be a part of our border security. and the National Guard does have the authority to enter into construction and other engineering projects as part of their directive to assist in securing the border. That is where we are today. I think this is an appropriate amendment.
