I was just in the right place at the right time. And Luke got to me right where I could put it in. It was a great pass. I looked up and saw three minutes and knew we had to get one in fast.

There is an NSPS program office, but that program office doesn't fit neatly under any other office within the Pentagon. Well, then, whose responsibility is it to roll up the cost? It's not the program office; their responsibility is to design the program and get it implemented.

It is rare that we get a request signed by a chairman and a ranking member of a full committee and subcommittee. So that created an importance for us to look at NSPS cost.

Nobody knows where it's going, up, down, left or right. He pitched well.

I think everyone is ticklish. You just gotta find the right spots.
