There is a net decrease of $47 million as I compute it. The drug elimination program was funded at $310 million in 2001, and eliminated this year. $263 million was added to the Public Housing Operating Fund, and that resulted in a net decrease, or a net cut. And drug elimination grants were authorized to be activities to be funded out of the public housing operations up to $110 million. So the overall net cut is $47 million.
