Thank you, all, for coming today.

The reason we're having this briefing on the national security exemption is because another member of the committee had brought forward some concerns that a large number of procurements were occurring. When I read some of the materials, it makes it sound like it's not a lot, but then when I hear some of the numbers that were presented, it sounds like about 13% of $23 billion of procurement falls under the national security exemption. Is that correct?
