RE: Jan. 18 Merck Visit - Thank You

Dear Howard,

On behalf of Paul Moum, myself and Merck & Co., Inc., thank you for your hospitality and cooperation. We realize that a visit such as ours involves considerable rescheduling and appreciate that sacrifice. Your organization was recommended highly in terms of technical expertise, global regulatory awareness and quality product: We concur. I am sure that we will be communicating again soon.

Please feel free to give Paul or me a call should anything come to mind regarding this recent visit.

Sincerely Yours,

Phillip J. Griffin
Mgr. - Hazardous Complaince
