Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the record, I haven't asked any questions yet this afternoon. For the record.

Okay. Mr. Chairman, for, let's see, page 8-19, there's a detail line here about contributions to artists, art organizations and art projects, Mr. Chairman. It shows

that for the last or for the three years running -- last year, this year and next year -- we're budgeting $426,000. I wanted to ask, what is the basis for this and in light of increases in so many other programs why the arts seem to be relatively flat in terms of our contribution levels, Mr. Chairman?
