But why was it laid out that way, is my question. Whose preference is it?

We have kids to worry about, we have projects to deal with, it has to get done, but you have to go sell them.

Maybe I wasn't clear. Could you spread that money out over time, is my question.

Okay. Another hearing, capital.

Let me just say that Senator Landrieu is absolutely right. There is a lot that we have to do.

So the figures that I cited, of course, are old figures in the sense that they were up to May of 2002.

Because we are dealing with the safety of the people of the District of Columbia and the visitors to the District of Columbia. And I think it is very important.

We just appreciate your interest and again thank you for requesting this GAO report.

And I am not hearing any answer to why you are doing it that way. And I would really like to move on.

That is what I find offensive and alarming. And I think you ought to fix it.

1 percent is an unbelievable figure, or even 12. I mean----

Okay. How many kids are we talking about?

We think it is very, very important. We want to work with you. We want to try to be of assistance to you.

I mean, if they were not getting a permanency plan, I have a problem, right?

Is that your rule?

Well, if your answer to me would have been, Senator, it just costs too darn much money to do it, I might understand it.

Whoa. Is that not important? I mean, I can see notification being important. That is procedure.

And the universe is what? And Senator Landrieu asked you this. But how many total cases are we talking about?
