Hello Vincent: Thanks so much for giving us an opportunity to see this information. Kathy Callahan will be calling Jim Miller to talk to him about this information. We have concerns about releasing this information - which has not been released before and because it begs many questions about what we are doing to follow the study up. Because the study is not final and hasn't been shared with EPA, we don't feel that we are ready to say what we will do to follow up. Kathy would like to talk this out with Jim.
Vincent Coluccio
