Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think what we would have to do is go back to our own files with respect to the information that was on the table at the time of negotiations to see what was there. As Mr. Christensen pointed out, the flexibility in block funding agreements allows communities to change the scope of work as priorities or requirements would change in the community. We could not guarantee that is what exactly is being billed. That is why we would have to go to the community to get the current plan. Just to point out, for those projects that MACA is directly funded, we do bring into the House detail on each of those capital projects in anticipation of questions. Where we are having a little bit of trouble today responding as adequately as Members would like with block funding agreements, that is simply not required of the communities any more, therefore we do not bring that level of detail with us. We can go back to the communities and provide it if it is helpful.
