00:00After this current rescissions package, how many additional rescissions packages do you expect this year?

00:06I don't know the answer to that. This is the one that the administration submitted.

00:10So, you know, obviously it's got a Friday next week deadline to process it.

00:16So we'll have it up on the floor next week.

00:19Hopefully we get on it. And then we'll have an amendment process.

00:22And I think kind of like a budget reconciliation bill, it's an open amendment process,

00:27a voter-rama type process, which I'm sure you're very excited about.

00:31But I'm hoping that as we get on that bill, we can see some savings achieved

00:36that will complement the things that we already accomplished.
