because we haven't got all the experience yet; is that something
you can take forward over to whoever you would ask and say we
are anticipating that come August, July, whatever, the Board is
going to be asking for additional funds. You need to be thinking
about that, and then either give them a ball park number to be
followed up. What -- what do you need to go forward, because my
sense is we're going to want to do more case reviews. We aren't
going to be able to cover the funds solely out of redeploying site
reviews to that. So our original estimates were ball park and now
the ball park is -- has increased. What do... Up to this point we've
got our five-year budget planned and it isn't going to be sufficient,
so we need to know, what do you need from us?
What do we need from our contractor? What is our time line?
don't think we have enough information now to really know. I
mean we -- we can do your linear projections, but we all know
that also has a tendency to -- to not go linear, so the question is,
what do you need -- what is that time line? Are we looking at
next year, you know, that '06 Federal budget, '07. . .

Mr. Gibson: . . .And you know, if we have to increase the budget
or request to increase the budget by $10,000 -- $10 million. I mean
I've seen a dose reconstruction (sic) be bid at $3 million for a site
and go to $12 or $13 million, and -- and it wasn't even done
efficiently, in my opinion. But I think we need to give the
contractor a chance to demonstrate their abilities and their work
before we worry about the costs or how to cut them. . .
DR. MELIUS: I have a separate subject to bring up, so -- it's
related to this, so -- you're done discussing it, and that's the issue
of the reports and public availability of the reports. I'm very
confused as we go through this process. We now have blue stamps,
I notice, on all of our -- a lot of our documents and – on some and
not on others saying it's part of the record, but there's a lot -- some
of us were pretty disconcerted when we received the report from
our contractor and was told that it was -- could not be shared with
anybody. . .

DR. DEHART: This is a housekeeping issue. We have documents
that we may not want to retain. What -- what should we do so that
they can be properly destroyed?

MS. HOMER: Give them to me; I'll take care of it.
DR. ZIEMER: Cori will collect those.
