And thats what Im suggesting. Maybe our recommendation is an action by the Administrator and to cite a couple examples of where that would be helpful in terms of partnerships, the HUD and the Corps. MEMBER MILLER: I think its almost any other Federal agency that NOAA is not able to take money from. And theres very little cross funding in NOAA. I mean they had trouble taking the money from DoD. I think its a very high level issue, the difficulty of getting funding in those partnerships. MS. MERSFELDER-LEWIS: DOI can readily and easily give NOAA money. Its Army Corps of Engineers and DoD combined
