Well, we have this information, Larry. We know, for example, that the Communists captured eleven thousand five hundred Americans during the Korean War. We also know that as a result of Little and Big Switch they returned to us about thirty five hundred POWs. We have fairly conclusive evidence that about five thousand Americans were either murdered or died in Korean--in Communist prison camps. So that leaves about three thousand that are not accounted for. We do know that there are some American prisoners of war that are still held behind the Iron Curtain against their will. Now, how many of that three thousand are in that group, I don't know. But that is the endeavor that's the purpose of our investigation.
