Thanks very much, Chair.

I have four questions. First, you mentioned that contributions are a deemed trust. We heard testimony, and I think the Supreme Court has upheld this general view, that pensions are deferred wages. Just from a principle rationale, before we get into the details of this bill, forget superpriority: Why wouldn't all pensions be a deemed trust when they're deferred wages?
