Senator Siewert, what I'd suggest you do is what you have been doing over the last few weeks. Often there's a lag in the system—a decision is made and it takes a little bit of time before the system slows down or actually enacts the action. So what I'd suggest you do is provide me with the advice, as you have done in other circumstances. We will address them, and, if the matter persists, we'll obviously need to take stronger action. But at this stage it appears as if it may just be lag in the system.
