Again, I am happy to go through the program as I discussed last week. There is an insulation safety program underway with inspections of at least 150,000 homes that have non-foil insulation. Those inspections, as I told the good senator, are targeted at those homes that are most likely to have safety issues. If an ongoing risk assessment indicates that more houses should be inspected, then they will be. Again, this is an area that is outside my portfolio area and outside the Office of the Coordinator General. I am quite amazed that after three questions last week, and the same answer every time, again we are back here going through the same questions. Senator, you could have directed the question to the person who could have answered the question. (Time expired)
