I am concerned with the point you are making because just today the Boeing Company has announced it is sending warrant notices to another 1,150 employees. We have already had thousands--5,000--bringing the total to 3,000 employees laid off, and now we are hearing about another 1,100 today who will receive layoff notices probably in June or July. This amendment would cover both employees--those who have already exhausted their benefits and employees who, in the next several months, will run out of benefits; is that your understanding?
