I think they do make a difference, and I certainly understand from the eloquent statements tonight how critical the need is in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It is my understanding that the director plans to designate the Dallas-Fort Worth area as a HIDTA, and this legislation, I can tell my colleagues that this legislation does provide adequate funding of the overall HIDTA account to fund the creation of another HIDTA in that area.
