Mr. Chairman, at the time we were developing our business plans and budgets, we did not know what progress would be made. Since that time, we have found that the ADR process has been positively received by the claimants and hearings have been scheduled and in some cases, they have been held. Our hope would be that this process would be completed fairly quickly, but depending on how much progress we are making, it may not have to appear at all in next year's budget, or we may have to budget for it again. Since it is negotiated, it is difficult to predict what the expenditures or the needs will be from year to year.
