Well I must admit, I have a lot of sympathy for the department having to manage to $200 million, which is 1% of their budget. It is very difficult to do that, to not go over. In the world we're in you cannot spend a dollar more than the amounts that have been voted to you. So to manage within 1% in such a large, complex department I think is a real challenge.
