And the revelation under oath was were using 1985 software. I think that is shocking and i think the american taxpayers deserve an answer as to where their money go and how can they trust you with another 17 billion or just 1 billion in i. T. Upgrade . Either of you. I was listening for a question there. Any question is how can the American People trust you for more money, een a billion . Be glad to give you a lay down of the work that i. T. Does on an annual basis, the projects that are undertaken, the systems that are both maintained and developed, and the functionality thats delivered. So i guess mr. Chairman if i can indulge one final question. I guess the information we heard that day from the. I. T. Was incorrect. It cannot have been correct information for us to find out under a hearing that were using 1985 outdated sced ewing software, when he simply sat there to see we need no more money, were compliant, were fine.
