Mr. Frank Daly:

There are probably two points to that. First, we are still getting requests for abatements, albeit not in the same volume as previously. Perhaps that reflects certain changes in the commercial reality. Second, I understand that, besides commercial considerations, the Government's decision was influenced by the constitutionality of dealing with the issue. I presume that situation still obtains.
