In my remarks, I talked about avoiding developmental programs. Often they will make a competition by introducing a program that is more developmental than, perhaps, another program, not understanding what risks and costs would be associated with it. They end up choosing, perhaps, a program that requires more development after the fact and does not deliver. You can think of many of those types of programs. The MHP, the maritime helicopter program, was clearly a developmental program paid for in a fixed-price contract. That was asking for trouble right from the beginning—when you look at it in retrospect.
