Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I won't pursue this much further, but I would like to know exactly what kind of dollars we are expending or have earmarked to pursue this very important sector in our economy. When we say we are going to try to see what we can do as far as making it grow and setting it up to be a viable growth industry, do we have dollars attached to this panel that they can use to promote this industry? Do we have a sum of money or is it just wrapped up in a little bit of one department whenever someone can put a little bit of time into it, or do we really have some dollars? To try to get an energy strategy going, we put $2 million towards it. We know there are dollars there and we put someone in charge of doing just that. What are we doing for the manufacturing industry?
