I wanted to ask how many of these applications have been approved and how many gifts have been received by Commerce? The process was recently resolved with DHS, who runs the program. And They do a $15,000, the most serious vetting and analysis of any potential applicant in the history of government. Usually it was $600. These pay 15,000 for an extraordinary vet. So they have approved recently one person, and there are hundreds in the queue that they are going through the process. (04:16–04:26)
