And so, um, because this was kind of an interesting, maybe atypical, um, vehicle for providing the funds contingent on other things being paid out first, I think is the thing that probably is causing a little bit of uncertainty. And so in this environment where, um, we're operating on a very fine margin of error when it comes to our revenues and our expenditures and kind of that plan balancing out. I think that having a contingency for should the amount of revenue that we're hoping and projecting and have been told, you know, that we should be able to account on doesn't manifest, what would be the backup plan? So this presents, I think, a plan that's a little bit fail-safe, but I do think that we've been given all of those indications kind of as you've mentioned. There is a, you know, appropriation set aside that is law.
