Right. Yes, and the Government Publishing Office has experienced that.

At the end of that time period, do you expect that we will need fewer FTEs, more, or the same based on that modernization?

The good news - bad news on it. Good news is we finally got the appropriations bills done and got that finished. Bad news, it is a very short window with just the rest of this year.

It is my hope that during this Congress, we can return to debating and passing individual appropriation bills instead of governing from one Continuing Resolution to another.

Okay. Walk me through what happens if that is not funded in 2018.

Some of the Central Americans have been on status over 20 years, and they were put on status because of a hurricane that happened over 20 years ago.

The situation has changed in Haiti that demanded the temporary protected status years ago.

The earlier those waivers can be released, the less anxiety it is in all of those locations

I think that we have to do that.

This was an issue that President Clinton put out a great piece decades ago, just honoring the religious protections of every individual on every campus.

I just personally believe that every individual should be able to live whatever faith they choose to live or to live no faith at all, and that that be acceptable on a campus setting and to not try to require them to be able to practice one…

There should not be any way to try to publicly humiliate folks because they are following the law.

I will certainly look into.

I think is a pertinent question to be able to deal with.

That piece of legislation was completed in February, but we still have not received our extension yet.

We have a temporary extension that expires at that point and everyone kind of leans forward as we are getting closer and closer to January 6th.

We have got to be able to maintain what we already, that 650 miles, and then continue to be able to expand out from there.

You have people on the front lines of just about every major issue we are facing as a nation right now.

That is heartbreaking for all of us to be able to see that kind of news and it is difficult for your entire team.

I appreciate the diligence and the focus on this.

That would be terrific, obviously. Again, that is just basic operation to be able to help increase efficiency in the process on this.

I appreciate that. That has been outstanding for about a year.

Right. But in countries that they are--we are still dealing with Germany and France, and the last I heard they do have electricity.

I would assume that we would set a firm deadline to say by this certain date.

The encouragement from this Congress would be at some point to say packages do not come in without it.
