beach. what this does is gives the states the option of either using that, what we call a challenge grant, to either cover the tv a subsidy for it alone or to use it for an element of the project financing that they'd like to do. the idea would be -- it can be a catalyst to the financing package for a project of that scope and we will be flexible with the state and how they want to proceed. the indications we've gone from different states on this process is there going to probably approach it in different ways. one wanted to do is give you the maximum flexibility and use this as a catalyst to get the project going. >> do you think this is sort of, you know, forward a little bit to look at the job bill that's been created. i guess, did the senate passed yesterday, is that correct? >> gas. >> and how many dollars worth of highway funding is going to be in that bill? >> 38 billion i believe. >> we would presume that it would operate to sensually the same way that the recovery act funding dead s
