that has come out of this. I originally started working with the pilots on this, and the Ports Authority but has blossomed up since then. Its my understanding that those did start up as partnerships, though. That as part of the agreement, that PORTS would pick up the O&M and that was long ago, and thats since changed, but that was the initial agreement. And so we do hear from other folks about how the value of public-private partnerships, though, and if the federal funds cant come in, where can we leverage other public-private partnerships, and that is one area -- Im not saying that thats going to stand or stay because obviously, theres folks who -- especially on the authorizing side that have granted that. But it comes -- that whole cycle of changing this to make it a full NOAA 100 percent responsibility, it doesnt necessarily it may end with us but doesnt necessarily
