It also adjusts the out-year authorizations for NOAA consistent with the Commerce Department planning ceilings. Finally, it focuses the environmental research labs strategic plan on a more objective assessment of the lab's role and mission, including consideration of the lab's operational efficiency and effectiveness. Mr. Chairman, I would like to thank you and your staff for your help and willingness in working out these amendments, and I think that these en bloc amendments will strengthen the bill in places where it did need some slight revision.
