If the gentleman will continue to yield. I just want to say that there unfortunately is a high incidence of refugee entrants on some form of welfare program. and that. in the State of California. after the first 3 years during which the Federal programs terminate. will still yield about half or 50 percent of the people even at that point are on welfare programs. The targeted assistance program specifically allows money to be spent not in just that first year period. which is the time eligible. but allows money to be spent creatively and imaginatively and innovatively in that area beyond the 3 years where you are catching some of the really hard cases. So I do think that the targeted assistance will help. and that is what we are striving to do. help reduce the unemployment rolls across the country.
