§ Dr. Boyson[pursuant to his reply, 25 June 1984, c. 357]: The latest estimate is that 16,000 people, whose records are still in existence, may be due refunds of voluntary unemployment deductions. This estimate must be treated with caution because of the very small sample of cases on which some of the most important assumptions involved are based.
