Mr. Pekeles, we had a witness here yesterday who essentially said, give every family $4,000 per child and let them look after their child care needs whichever way they want, whether it's in home, out of home, for profit, not for profit, and whether it has an education component or not. I hope I'm not characterizing incorrectly what the witness said, but I'd be interested in your observations with respect to whether that is an effective child care strategy.
