But I wanted to follow-up on a question that council member Schulman had asked about the overall split in the budget between state, federal, city.

Because I know that specifically, and and please, correct me if I'm wrong, but for the mental hygiene budget specifically for FY '20 '6, I believe the state has 54%, the city has 38%, and the federal is 4%.

But just out of curiosity, percentage of the federal budget that you had spoken to before previously, does that like in terms of the overall cuts, potential cuts, I'm sorry, does that include the pass through money as well that is embedded in the state and city funding just out of curiosity like the CDBG block grant, all of that stuff?
