Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chairman, no.

Fisheries committee  Just to follow up on the commissioner's comment, I think that's a fair statement. The issue, as we understand it—and obviously we're not auditing the science program. The intention is to get the surveys done at about the same time every year, to use roughly the same equipment, to get the coverage the scientists desire to reach their conclusions.

Fisheries committee  I think, Mr. Chairman, if you look at paragraph 4.78, we talk about the vessel replacement plan at the time we did the audit. And there were two or three issues that we note there. One is that the coast guard had asked for ten new vessels and had approval to get six. Of the six it did get, the timeframes were stretched out in terms of delivery.
