I go through all of these reports in Washington, all the reports that go into this building, and people read them, they do not really know where your district is in Colorado, they do not know why my district is in Michigan, but they read my reports, is that the end of the saga? I do not think so, because I kind of believe that maybe some of the people that have gotten some of this $30 billion have not quite spent it the way that I wanted them to. So I have another department here in Washington. They are called auditors. So I send them around the country and send them to you and say, I know you sent me the report but prove it. I want to see your paperwork that says that you spent the money exactly the way that I told you to. So I send the auditor to you and you go through another process.
