I think the thinking is this is an authorization. It is not an appropriation. The general notion is in the early stage of this thing, it is a relatively small amount of dollars. It creates authorization if necessary. If you have a number of States that do participate, which we anticipate, I think the language of the bill talks about the fact that they will pay for that. The notion is there is an authorization. And to get more States involved to pay for it, there is this limited amount of Federal responsibility. I think the thinking is that the States will take responsibility.
