If there are too many employees pulling a salary for this to happen, something has to give. That usually means downsizing.<br /><br />LANS also has to make sure that the operating budget can handle the payments to TCP2. The "match" money doesn't come from NNSA. It comes straight out of the lab's operating budget.<br /><br />In summary, lab costs and the budget do matter. The money doesn't just pour out of DOE/NNSA, no matter what.
