To date, we have prepared for and participated in two meetings in Louisville and several conference calls with Dr. Tamburro and his team; provided reviews, comments and meeting notes to CMA; and probed our VCM mortality study database to assess the completeness of the Louisville database as well as to provide missing information where possible. The total cost of these services and expenses, as of June 1, 1997, is $8,459.57. A detailed breakdown is provided on the enclosed page. In addition, we estimate that future services will consist of continued oversight and data sharing, and peer-review of draft and final study reports, and the cost associated with these will be approximately $4,000.00 for a total of about $12,500.00. Please do not hesitate to call ifyou have any questions or require additional information. Thank you. Sincerely yours. enclosure CMA 112564 P.O.
