All of those different approaches are good. And there are competitive grants. I am going to work with the Senator. We did have that $70 million for that nutrient reduction pilot program. While all that is good--and I am going to work hard, and I am glad you were able to provide that--it is still not as good as the other version. If the House would have only listened to you more. But, again, I thank you for at least keeping that. And we will work together to reduce nutrient runoff, whether it is filter strips, grass strips, riparian buffers, to reduce the nutrient and sedimentary runoff into the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. I thank the Senator.
