Many of the recommendations of the working group are in the process of being implemented and we are continuing to investigate other issues and recommendations prior to deciding how to proceed. Managing all of the risks involved in the efficient deployment of the system will require the same level and degree of senior management attention that we have given to the software development over the last two years. Our schedule provides for 20 months to continue to prepare and to mitigate these risks prior to the start of national deployment. We call this system EDC, for early display capability. Between late FY 2001 and early FY 2003, we will deploy EDC at an additional 11 facilities.
Modernization is a continual progression.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today. Mr. Chairman, I will be happy to answer any questions at this time.
