I believe even the GAO studies, and it has been a few years since I have looked at it, but even the GAO study has trouble making the direct statements the gentleman wants it to make. And saying a job is directly caused by anything is difficult to do, but I can point to the gentleman, and I know the gentleman can in his district, and everyone who has testified, Republican and Democrat, in favor of EDA knows that EDA has brought hope and jobs to their area. Indeed, in my area, I can point to project after project where something would not be there were it not for EDA.
