The reductions have to do with the 1.5% wage increase, which departments would otherwise have been compensated for. For this 1.5% applied under the Expenditure Restraint Act, we would normally compensate departments. We're not compensating them for that. Therefore, they have to absorb that reduction from their operating budgets. That's the way it works. And that will apply across all appropriated departments that have salaried staff.
