Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I know that you report to another committee on your budget, but I couldn't help notice that your spending for 2008-09 was about $3.7 million, and your planned spending for the next fiscal year is $6.5 million--approximately double. Can you could provide us with an explanation of why your budget is doubling year over year?
