am a huge believer in commercial imagery, going back to when i served as director of nema and later nga and in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. it continues to be of great value for exactly the reasons you cited. it is unclassified and can be shared in coalition context as well as domestic disaster relief and the like. that said, though, we are looking at some pretty steep budget cuts across the board in the intelligence community. as a consequence, commercial imagery will be considered in the broader look of where we may have to take reductions. it is my view that not only can we satisfy military requirements but all other non-military requirements as well. i think it is incumbent on the industry to perhaps come up with some innovations and business practices and this sort of thing that will help us as we look at a more constrained fiscal environment. >> i appreciate your attention to this matter. i know many of the other participants today on the panel depend on this kind of imagery. my concern, i think, and you share it, i hear you implying, is that if you cut too far, you reduce the
