We commend House Appropriators ordsprog

We commend House Appropriators for recognizing technology as critical to our nation's educational needs by partially restoring EETT funding to $300 million. Unfortunately, $300 million is just a start. We call upon the Senate to seek nothing less than the same level as allocated this year.

The Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act that is before the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives has been doubled from $5 million to $10 million, $5 million for the FBI and $5 million for the Justice Department.

Byrne formula grants have long proven to be invaluable to law enforcement agencies in Nebraska in their efforts to fight against the influx of methamphetamine in our communities.

Chipset sales declined 26 percent to $269 million, and operating margins dropped to 24 percent from 39 percent.

The steps we took this past year strengthened our financial position. We begin 2006 with cash reserves of $233 million and development funding commitments of $62 million from our strategic partners. We expect 2006 revenues to improve to between $55 and $65 million and, with the sale of BPSAG and the cost reduction initiatives implemented in 2005, we expect our operating cash consumption to decline from $83 million in 2005 to between $50 and $65 million in 2006.

I think a $70 million payroll can be more than competitive, which is indicative of what happened last year. If you are in the $70 (million) to $80 million range, you can do it the right way, with a combination of veteran players and using players from within. But your scouting and player development are critical in doing it.

2005 was a significant growth year for XM in which we added more than 2.7 million net subscribers.

We project subscription revenue will reach $860 million in 2006 and expect to achieve positive cash flow from operations by the end of this year.

At the league office, Bill Daly recently saw his compensation double from just below $1 million to just under $2 million (as he was promoted to deputy commissioner after our new CBA was finalized) and it is anticipated that Gary Bettman's compensation will increase from its current level of $3.5 million per year.

Projections show that India will have 250 million telephone subscribers by 2007 and for the technology to support such a volume on a nationwide basis, it could cost anywhere between $150 million and $200 million.
