Mr. Hosty. I wasn't involved in that. Mr. Fain was the one.

Mr. Stern. But as far as administrative procedures are concerned?

Mr. Hosty. If they had so desired, I think they could have, yes.

Mr. Stern. There was no policy or procedure?

Mr. Hosty. If there was some more work to be done, if they had decided to, say, reinterview him at, say, in 6 months, they could have.

Mr. Stern. But it would have taken something of that sort?

Mr. Hosty. Yes; it would have to be some more work to be done on the case in the opinion of the agent.

Mr. Stern. So that pending inactive is part of pending?

Mr. Hosty. It is sort of midway between.

Mr. Stern. Only the work you have decided to do is more remote?
