Questions and Answers:
Douglas Stuart Harned - Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC., Research Division - SVP and Senior AnalystThank you for being here. I'd like to start out kind of at a high level. You could give us your perspectives on how the defense budget is going. We've seen the 2020 budget submitted and some initial drafts coming out of Congress -- looks fairly flat. But can you let us know how you see that budget evolving?
