Couple of questions on the supplemental spending bills and your participation there. First, we didn't really get the first installment of the supplemental until late December and looks like the bulk of the procurement dollars won't pass till later in the year. Did that have any impact on Government Systems bookings? And second, looks like at least one year programs is pretty well supported in that December appropriation when do you expect to see orders against that?
Earl R. Lewis - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
The one program we hope to see orders this quarter. That's Bill and I [ph] debate that and talked to the customer all the time. I think we have a good probability seeing the order in Q1. If the one you are talking about so on big enough which essentially is a GS order [ph].
David Gremmels - Thomas Weisel Partners
And then just... I mean in terms of the timing of the [Multiple Speakers]
Earl R. Lewis - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
The other part of your question related to whether we have that... our order entry was very strong in Q4 for Government Systems. When you back out the reclassification of ARH, which had effectively $22 million reduction in Bill's backlog; his backlog went down 11 on very strong sales. So in reality his order intake was very strong in Q4. We are now with help of that supplemental.
