Thank you directors Jim Patrick Patrick and company i i like to go back to the joint all the time and notion of paying the highest price for labor i find that disrespectful to the public and a poor management of funds. And required to look over and a violation of your fiduciary responsibilities that is not a good thing i understand from the Legal Counsel you have to have that for federal dollars and i understand that how about packaging separate packages one for federal dollars and one for other dollars where you can not have the policy in place or not consistent only for the federal side and maybe not the stateside, if you will. What you buy is the prevention of a strict you have the money to pay for the funds not an interest cost so in fact, would you make money when there is a strict only delay potentially implementing the service and i think that is a reasonable cost if it is delayed a week or two weeks or what have you cost trade off is not a good one we need to Pay Attention to those costs thank you, bell ringing .
