Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am saying a similar thing. Because the programs are administered by the same division in terms of support, we are enabling people to try and make sure that all programs do work together as best they can. We, as a department, recognize that there has to be a continuum whether you are talking about early childhood intervention, K-12 or adult education. The whole process has to be linked and we do try to work on those linkages within the department. I think you will find that we still keep the programs separately because that is how it is a line item in the budget and here is how much money we need for student financial assistance. The rules for it are distinct, but we do look for ways to coordinate the activities of the department and how we support people to achieve their goals. On the income support side, people are expected to make productive choices. Productive choices could be on-the-job training, upgrading or community college participation.
