I don't think so. Traditionally, the literacy field has had only had three weeks to prepare these applications. This year, between August and the September 15 deadline, we actually had more time. The problem is that we never know when these calls are going to come out. They continue to be delayed. So it's hard for organizations to be accountable, to maintain budgets and program planning, when they're not sure when the call will get out or when they'll get approved for funding.
On November 2nd, 2006. See this statement in context.
