>> i suppose also the would be a little hard to do a darpa program with 1 dollar. >> i'm just talking about the trigger man said. you told me something i didn't know. this is very interesting. >> of course the other question is in trying to figure not all of the priorities are now struggle with how does this fit and obviously you might say why don't you just do this with the budget you've got? that would mean i would have to do less of something else and all ready with our 15% success rate living you can imagine how much of a stress and strain that is. dr. collins, i feel your pain. [laughter] the same thing has hit us here, not just here but in health and education we will have real problems in education meeting the needs, a lot of things pulling and that we are not going to have the fund since we have to make some tough decisions too and some of our friends are not going to be happy with the decisions that we make that we are all going to sharpen our pencils and try to prioritize things and what i am hearing about the acceleration that work is that it is a high priority to get the t
