in the business operation <strong>of</strong> diplomacy?<br />
O and M data is extremely important. We<br />
have to understand how people take care <strong>of</strong> these<br />
buildings. We talked about lead buildings. It's<br />
like buying a puppy. If you're not willing to take<br />
care <strong>of</strong> it, then you had better not buy a puppy<br />
because day one, you're going to find out what a<br />
pain having that puppy is. It's no longer cute. It<br />
has to go.<br />
So buildings are the same thing. You're<br />
undertaking owning a building. You're undertaking<br />
operating a building. And what is that building<br />
for? It's for diplomats. We don't want the<br />
building to get in the way <strong>of</strong> the diplomats. They<br />
have an important job out there.<br />

essential and should be analyzed by a VE team. The<br />
post habits, management and procedures. We should<br />
have a GSO come and sit in on some <strong>of</strong> our workshops,<br />
so that they can say well, that's great, but this is<br />
how I operated your facility, once I got a hold <strong>of</strong><br />
it. We want to hear the user's impact on the<br />
building. Next slide.<br />
that?<br />
