Dr. Lynch mentioned three years or five years. Would it be important that the contract not be so long that if there is a decision to work within the existing statutory structure, which we all think is a good idea, we do not find ourselves stuck with a five-year contract? The Department should be conscious when it goes through procurement that it does not tie its hands and end up in a situation it wants to get out of shortly after making the decision.
