My question was why it is that fewer people are being processed from the backlog on a year-by-year basis. I'm seeing less and less of the backlog being processed. In the 2009 year, 28,000 cases from the backlog were processed. That was pre-MI-2 and MI-3. In the 2010 year, there were only 16,000, so fewer were being processed. In the current 2011 year, there are only 12,000.
