                                        Let me begin by highlighting the importance of the full restoration of the 19,500,000.0 in pegs that have previously hurt our campuses.

                                        As you know, the reduction in funding has negatively affected our students, faculty, and staff.

                                        And the case of restoration has been a theme in my annual budget testimony before you.
