Veterans Affairs committee  Ms. Adams, I will get a report or something sent up to you all, because just thinking of all the aid attendants, the health care...even in that range, we'll give you what the SMC would be for that, which is the monetary amount.

Veterans Affairs committee  My Caps lost last night too.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you.
