Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with respect to the timing of payments, if it has been a problem in the past, I am not aware of it. However, if he is speaking about this current fiscal year, there hasn't been any significant progress made because the budget hasn't been approved yet. We have given out some preliminary payments to some organizations. In the future, the way the funding for community justice committees and projects would be financed is, as we go towards community wellness and community empowerment, more of these things will be block funded to the local agencies for direct distribution. So we would get around that problem of having to report and request to have payments made on the contracts, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
