So when you mentioned about the 1700 refugees still stuck in Thailand, do you have any Pacific plan to bring them over here? And how do you expedite that plan? You know what I asked? Actually, I contacted the UN because if UN designated those 1700 people as refugees, it's going to be a little easier. But you know, I asked them, they said they don't even know. So I said, I want to find out. They said they're going to come back to me. (10:45–10:55)
