Again, I’m just having a little bit of trouble understanding how you can award a contract that hasn’t been approved by the House. Anyway, I guess it’s just a funny thing when you’re negotiating what would appear…. I mean, nobody has yet told me what exactly it’s going to cost. There have been numbers thrown around, anywhere between $120 million and $140 million.
If I could, I’d just provide a recommendation, if you will. This is a project for which we need to expedite the process; we need to find out exactly what we’re building and put a cap on it before it grows in cost any more than it already has. I would put this at the top of the priority list. When you’re going out there and trying to get a project completed, let’s dot the i’s, cross the t’s and do whatever you can to make sure that this project doesn’t increase in cost by any more millions of dollars. I haven’t heard anybody tell me exactly what it’s going to cost, because I don’t think anybody knows. Mr. Chairman, I think we should know, and we should try to nail it down and get it done.
