Mr. Chairman, there are two pieces to this. One is there are rate increases that we know have come into place since we prepared the budget. The fuel rate rider, for example, was ten cents. That came into effect. We know we can include that in. We know that is a new expense.

Then as we prepared this, looked forward late this summer to how we are going to balance out the rest of the year, we had to do projections and figure out what our best estimate was of what is needed in order to finish out the year, including both the known expenses or increased costs and the projected ones. The figures that appear in here are our best estimates at this time of what is needed.

If fuel prices continue to drop, and there is no way of predicting that will happen, but if they did continue to drop, then we may end up with surpluses in here. If the fuel prices suddenly were to skyrocket again, we could end up being short again. Mr. Chairman, this is our best estimate at this time of what is needed to finish out the fiscal year. Thank you.
