Re: "I don't think crossflo will be affected too greatly. Talis is safe because it will save the gov't money, same as crossflo. Holocomb may or may not be affected by budget cuts."

I hope you're right.

From experience, I expect that justifying a large expenditure will become more difficult for most businesses. In times like these, a shorter and shorter payback period is needed to justify any large corporate expenditure.

This is all IMO. I'd like to hear some official guidance from Rick.
