Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank Mr. Voytilla for elaborating on that end and answering to what I was actually going to ask next, which is, even though these debts will be written off, that collections will still be pursued because I appreciate that all these debts that are being written off arise out of student loans and there are probably a number of legitimate cases where these people who had got loans from the government to pursue their educational goals were not able to pay that up and the government has deemed them almost uncollectible. At the same time, I know that there are hundreds of...Every year there are lots of people who get student loans and most of them are paying off their debts, so we want to make sure that everybody's treated equally and all those people who have the advantage of getting a student loan to go to school should be asked to pay back. I don't have any question on that. I just wanted to put that additional information on the record so that the public can be aware of the purpose of writing off debts of the government. Thank you.
