Mr. Michael McCarthy:

That explains the time deficit. However, it is important for us to hear that . We do not have direct input into policy. As the committee members know as well as we do, when we are dealing with multi-State agencies and different local authorities, such work can be quite voluminous. However, we are mindful of the timing. Prior to our appearance here in 2019, we were probably further behind. Some of the reasons are within control, but many others are not.
