I think that concludes our questions.

Virginia Maloney

The one point I wanted to make here is sending us copy of the contracts.

Virginia Maloney

Is that something you can proactively do, or are you saying we have to go through the FOIA process?

Unidentified speaker

We will get back to you right after this hearing to follow up.
