In reclaiming my time, I am glad that we are all in agreement. I don't want families to be left alone, though, if they have someone who is suffering from mental health illnesses. The reason that question is asked in a community survey is so that, when we are doing funding for communities for mental health services, we know where the impact of those dollars can be most applied. The census is taken for a good reason, but let us agree for the moment on the amendment, and let's move on. I yield back the balance of my time.
