They estimate the new cost for modest quantities will be between 47.5 cents and 49 cents/lb. delivered. We expect to hear from them shortly as to what price they will be able to establish for quantities ranging from 1MM to 4MM per year. There is no domestic manufacturer of phthalonltrile, so this means if you should develop a requirement we are compelled to rely on a foreign source of supply. WWG/jg /me /s W. W.
