This is incorrect. With no MEC action the program dies in one year. They do not have to pull it down. In order for the program to continue the MEC has to negotiate a LOA. We would have complete leverage in such a negotiation as to the final structure of the program.
LOA's can be negotiated at any time to change any aspect of the contract. If we did not have this program in the TA it could be added in one year via LOA. It could be added tomorrow.
