That is the point that I was making. I was saying that of course the Secretary of State needs knowledge thereof, but the prime contractor has the caseload. Caseloads are going to differ, for example by geographical area—perhaps a rural area as opposed to a municipal one—and the Secretary of State would not necessarily know what is in that particular casebook. It would be for the contractor to break up the casebook, and say that, "For this group of people, I will need such and such; and for another group of people I will need a different type of subcontractor altogether".
