Mr. Chair, if I may, we have two suggestions that we think would be helpful. If there could be more transparency to funding assessment processes, individual agencies such as ours could have a better understanding of how funding is allocated or how to utilize the funding. Also, should funding cease, if there could be more significant lead time so that agencies could make appropriate settlement issues and contingencies, ideally six to twelve months is more realistic than usually three to four months.
Thank you.
