Either of you. I was listening for a question there. Any question is how can the American People trust you for more money, een a billion . Be glad to give you a lay down of the work that i. T. Does on an annual basis, the projects that are undertaken, the systems that are both maintained and developed, and the functionality thats delivered. So i guess mr.
