Sure.

Mr. Chair, I would add that budget 2019 allocated about $508 million, I think, for efforts to advance the updated or renewed cybersecurity strategy, which was shared among a number of departments and agencies for their respective cybersecurity efforts. I would also say that there would be—I don't have a number for this—other resources that are applied there. I would use the example of my own group here, where efforts are undertaken to deliver programs that aren't counted or lumped in as part of that $508 million.

I'll leave the question at that. Thank you.
