Since we had money in other parts of the bill for immigration, big beautiful bill for immigration, then we didn't need quite as much. So we actually saved about $600 million. Those savings don't exist right now because The bill we passed through the House did not pass through the Senate. So Congress is going to be focused on this when we get back. But again, the challenge is largely in the Senate and it's largely there because the Senate filibuster requires a vot of 60 and we only have 53 in the house. (09:18–09:22)
