First of all we should not get dislocated workers into this discussion because they are protected in the legislation. We made very, very sure of that. Again I say the total discretion is left to that local community for the use of that fund better than they have ever had it before, because we usually tie the hands of local people because we have always had the idea that we know what works best from Washington, that one size fits all. We are saying that is a mistake. Let us let the local communities make those decisions and deal with those most in need. I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
