Mr. Chairman, in closing, just to address my good friend, Mr. Shays, I agree with everything you said. I agree with all the good work that the CAPs are doing. That is why we appropriated $100 million and then another $95 million. But I want to make it clear, at least from my interaction from the CAPs, and I have had many discussions with the CAPs, they don't need the money now. They are operating under the radar. They are doing good work. And with the supplemental in 2008 that is coming up in September, they don't need the money now. They certainly welcome, if it is necessary, some additional funding to them.
