you can go to the nrc website, nuclear regulatory commission website. i apologize for using acronyms, old habits. i can't speak to somebody's motivation. it's hard to believe that somebody's given you data and they've internally deceived you. you have a tendency, and people like myself with a scientific background, we tend to trust each other and what they say. so once you have proven yourself to be dishonest, then, you have to question absolutely everything that you've been given. you can't accept anything. i mean, you're going to have to educate yourselves, you're going to have to get your own consultant who you trust and who can explain these things to you. >> supervisor kim: can i ask you, so there's a -- this is where i have a hard time seeing. there's a tetratech and a subsidiary? >> yes. large companies will break into divisions -- >> supervisor kim: e.c. >> e.c. -- >> supervisor kim: should we be concerned about tetratech as an entire institution or just asubsidary? >> if i did this, i wouldn't be in business. i'd be completely fired and would h

as you know, in our business reorganization, we realigned our fsa offices along with our nrcs offices as well as the crop insurance, our rma offices there, that are directly customer-facing. senator merkley reminded me of my conversation and my vision of being the most efficient, the most effective, but he also left out the most customer-focused. and we know that we do that with people, and with bill northy finally on board as the undersecretary for that division, we're undergoing a strategic, missionwide staffing plan. we know there are obviously some deficiencies based on attrition in various places. there have not been any riffs or layoffs or anything like that. this is a matter of in 100,000-plus employees, you'll have a certain amount of attrition every year, and this has not been purposeful to leave those unfilled. it's been the strategic plan of getting where the right people ought to be in the right amount, in the right places to do what we want to do by our customers in that regard. we are probably, i'd say 75% through that, and we've authorized already some hiring and some d
