You can look at that in two ways, but I don't think we have a good enough handle on what this is going to cost. We have a good idea, but if you give them a figure then you almost give them a blank check and most of the proposals will come in close to that number.

I think it is very important that we think about how we are going to evaluate these requests including what we are going to look for, what criteria they need to meet and how we are going to grade them.
