Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Now, I understand the question. It is phrased a little differently than how the original questions were phrased. You were asking for me to justify the $150,000 and the $60,000, so that was what I was trying to do. Now, I understand your concern and I would have the same concern if I was in your place. Last year, we came forward with a supp for $340,000. That was a one-time supp to provide funding for mainframe modification in the regions. That was to redesign the software for the new POL systems, and the new health care systems, in the regions. We had to purchase that new hardware one time only, because of decentralization. In order for the regions to handle all this new information, we also had to purchase new printers for them to upgrade the system. It was a one-time cost. That was the only reason that we came forward with a supp. It was because of decentralization. Now we are back to normal and that is why we are now requesting $210,000. The previous year, I believe it was right around $190,000, before the $180,000. The $180,000 and the $340,000 add up to $520,000. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
