For example, the Cooperative Conservation Initiative, minus 100 million; Stateside Land and Water conservation, minus 46 million; Park Service Construction, minus 62 million; Land Acquisition National Parks, minus 31 million; Technology Road Maps, Department of Energy, minus 4.5 million; the Kennedy Center, minus 4 million. So we made some cuts.
