What I would say is, take a look at the votes that get reduced. Operating expenses are a great place to look to understand the nature of the spending, because if it's not in operating expenses, it's either in capital or in grants and contributions. That's the first place I would check. It is worthwhile looking at internal services to see what the trends are there as well, but back office involves more than just internal services, and it's caused some confusion in the spending reductions.
