As the Inspector General pointed out, there was a lag in operations when we submitted our programming for Haiti. Fortunately, the issue was resolved rather quickly. What the Inspector General was indicating was that, once we have begun rolling out a program, there has to be funding to back up the commitment. Otherwise, our involvement is absolutely in vain. For us, this has also been a useful exercise. Before a project ends, whether in Afghanistan or Haiti, we already begin to look forward to our next submission so that we can ensure continuity.
