A couple years ago, we dove into post offices, particularly those that did not appear to be financially vibrant and surviving. We realized much of the data we were working on had holes in it. We couldn't get certain lease costs or were they real estate owned. All I am trying to do here is just get updated data, because at some point we are going to go back through. You have all been watching the accounts. We are going to go back through that discussion again of how we shore up the finances of the U.S. postal system. It would be nice if we go into that having actually high-quality information and the optionality that information would provide us. That is as complicated as this one is. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
