Mr. Chairman, again I'm trying to picture in my mind how you determine costs for any infrastructure without pre-engineering studies being done. All the highways that are being reconstructed, you have to do pre-engineering work prior to a cost-estimate being established. I'm just saying that by deleting that money it restricts or handicaps the resupply study that is going to be done. If you're going to be doing a study and a cost-analysis in that study, then you have to have some pre-engineering work done, soil testing, drilling, whatever it takes. But if you have that missing, then there is a part of the study that's missing. I don't know what the rationale is behind deleting it, but that's the way I always picture things. I thought that was the way the government operated. They do things by study, but also by pre-engineering studies to determine the cost-factors as well as the conditions and everything else that's required.
