I heard somebody whisper that's not true. It is true in many of these countries. In many of these countries, the governments didn't even know how much money was being spent. We are now entering into government to government compacts with these governments and the compacts are the following. Not only are they provided assistance, but they are being provided a plan to build up their own self sustainment and their own abilities internally so that in the long term these countries need less aid because they can now do it for themselves. Some countries may take five years, some countries may take longer, but we're very proud of that and the countries are very excited about that. I'm also very excited about humanitarian aid.
