It is very difficult for me to answer that question with any real certainty, Mr. Chairman. Obviously the government hasn't costed the amendment as proposed. So in terms of the actual cost of complying with a regulation that would require proactive disclosure of every contract, I simply don't know what that figure would be. We'd certainly be talking about a large number, considerably above the 450,000 contracts, but I can't answer with any specifics.
