Yes.

So you've doubled the number of programs but kept the same $3 billion in funding. If you double the number of programs but keep the same funding, something's not working, in my mind.

Could you explain what you mean by “cost-shared programs”?

Personally, I'm a newcomer to this committee, and I would like to fully understand what you mean by “cost-shared programs”.

My second question is this: If you keep the same funding and double the programs, there have to be cuts somewhere. Do you have to cut some programs and, in that case, which ones?
