Find that information if you are not in the system and where are those invisible, and in many ways, those invisible people and so i will back to the cochairs response and i think that it is a marketing effort and it is an out reach effort that will not be like a job fair but an information fair that one, indicates individuals on what they are needing to report to us, so that we can better respond to them. And so i think that we have to start all the way back to the very beginning, full consent and full knowledge and moving in a timely fashion to seek to create the programming that will address the need.

Today and telling us more, it was such a pleasure to meet with you this year on this topic. There is an emerging theme about the performance goals and how best to measure the ability to reach those goals and i believe that i heard you mention that under the 503 program that the federal government has the performance goals of 7 percent from the workforce to be people with disabilities.
