From a funding level, is there enough resources for what you need in some of the leasing of the space that is occurring as well as future construction, and what will be necessary to expand these facilities to meet the women veterans' needs?

I want to thank you for your service, and also for your insight in the day-to-day utilization of the VA services.

How big would you say that universe is if you could measure it in volume of people? Is it a few thousand? Is it tens of thousands?
