I think you need both. I think there are certain things that have to be done in-house, but most government research—all of it, in fact, that I'm familiar with—is done in partnership with universities and with institutes outside. Work can be done in collaboration in joint projects or it can be contracted out, but there is a core capability that has to be maintained in government in order to even do that. We're getting perilously close to not having that capacity.
