Yes, I mean, there's 2 parts to that. One, I don't think sequestration really has anything to do with the contract negotiations because the contract has to be in place and that has to be there. And really, in some ways, we're talking about improving the value and the dollars are pretty insignificant overall. So sequestration isn't really a factor there. I know there's a bigger question, sort of about is sequestration a problem? And obviously, in some ways, it has to be, though it's more about process right now because we have a lot of relationships and interactions, of course, there. And there's a lot of confusion across U.S. government agencies and the U.S. DoD and the others. And it sort of slows down things because they're -- because, frankly, not everyone really knows what the game plan is and how long it's going to be and what the operating environment is, and are they going to operate under a continuing resolution, or will there be a new budget. And all that changes things, but from a general perspective around our business, we're kind of below the radar screen on most of those things. Our general business with them is an operational element, focused mostly on deployed and operational units, which is not the target really primarily of either sequestration or budget cuts. So overall, there -- it has to have some effect, but it's not really a one that we can really point to and say what it really is. I think, by the way, Brian, we've said, I think it's reasonable to say we think we've factored that into our outlook and guidance everywhere for this year. We're assuming that the environment is going to stay sort of uncertain and that what we're doing and where we're doing it and stuff is sort of -- is at least known to us now, so.
