Let me say, just to clarify, the $18 million was an obligation that the corporation had to the 1,180 unaffiliated employees. We have a payroll of close to $900 million. If the member believes that we make decisions about performance pay in a frivolous fashion, I have to correct him. These dollars on payroll are put in place at the beginning of every year, so to suggest that funding that was provided at the end of the year was used in that way is, simply, incorrect.
