Reclaiming my time, which I do not have a lot of left, I would say this needs to be targeted. This need to be targeted to at- risk children who will drop out if not provided with the Follow Through assurances in this kind of transition program, who will cost us $30,000 as opposed to several hundred dollars invested in children early on. As the gentleman from Ohio knows, we are going to spend several billion dollars on crime prevention or on crime and on prisons and on putting more police on the streets, which we should be doing. We have an obligation to future generations to invest in the crime prevention part, and that is what this transition program does.
