As you know, we are also in a bit of a rush regarding the estimates, so they could be dealt with at the same time. It's pretty difficult to get department officials here twice in a row--first for “Hello, how are you, here's what we do”; and second on the estimates, which is a little more detailed. We don't have much time to get the estimates through.
