And this really is just clarifying, you know, really the amount of money being authorized. When the original bill was prepared, it was based on some cost estimates from the House bill. And so We've gone back to SIGI to find out exactly what this bill actually is going to be costing. And it's actually lower than the original bill. But it does represent some increases in spending over the next few years, which I think are well justified. About $900,000 in fiscal year 2016 and then between three and $400,000 increases every year after that. (01:52–02:01)
