With respect to the Debt Guarantee Program of the TLG Program, will the FDIC consider revising its risk weights on FDIC guaranteed investments? For example, if we are a net seller or Fed funds to other banks who participate in this program, would the FDIC reduce the risk weighting on our asset to something less than 20%? For bank investments in CDs of other banks, would the FDIC consider reducing the risk weighting on those assets as well assuming an FDIC guarantee is in place?

Thank you.
