Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Scarpaleggia, it's good to see you in the witness seat today.
Dr. Pomeroy, thank you for joining us as well.
I think everyone can recognize the value of improved drought and flood forecasting. I think we also have to recognize the value of being good stewards of the public purse. I wonder if you can give us an idea of how much this entire system and program will cost in terms of upfront costs as well as the annual operations.
