Agriculture committee  Thank you very much for the question. The amount is not a new amount. When we received the funds for the program, we received them in statutory authorities because of the Public Health Events of National Concern Payments Act. That act was repealed in December 2020, so we are transferring the funds from the statutory authorities to our voted authorities so that they're available for spending until March 31.

Agriculture committee  It's the exact same rationale. When we originally got the funds for the surplus food purchase program, they were in statutory authorities according to the act I just mentioned, which was repealed in December. Now we're transferring those funds into our voted contributions, so that we can use them between January and the end of March.
