Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
To be fair, this committee has had to subpoena...not subpoena, but push hard to get some witnesses to come, so I'm glad you've come on your own volition.
However, I do want to make sure that I understand what is being proposed. Did I hear correctly that the separation of the lines to make sure 911 would work would cost around $250 million? Is that specifically required to ensure that 911 does not fail again? That's one of the largest problems in all of this. One thing is the inconvenience, but second to that, 911 is critical. Is it correct that $250 million is the fix for 911?
