Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is there anything in the works for the department to consider increasing the amount of the contribution for the Adult Basic Education Program? I see in your statement that Tree of Peace received about $95,000 of that each year, yet the amount that has been identified is $390,000. That leaves $300,000 for the other 16 or so communities. Because the amount is spread out among that many communities, it does not really add up to much, especially to do justice to the problems we are seeing in the communities with literacy and the importance for upgrading of those students who are on income support. What is the department doing to improve that?
