information or to make full and complete answer with respect to all 
matters of inquiry, the Commandant shall hold in abeyance further 
consideration of the application, and shall notify the applicant that 
further action will not be taken unless and until the applicant 
furnishes the required information and fully and completely answers all 
inquiries directed to him.
