The FBI is an organization, investigative agency of consummate skill and integrity. It will follow the facts and the law and the evidence where it leads them.

Is it true that a plan designated as in critical and declining status means that plan will become insolvent in the near future?

If we do not solve this pension issue--the people we think most about here are the pensioners, as we should.
