Has any reply been received from IBT? Will a response be received prior to our November(29) meeting so that we can consider it as part of our agenda? Sincerely yours T. R. Torkelson Note error in date. The Research Coordinators will meet the 28th of November not the 29th. We will have a full agenda so plan on all day. Duffield, Stafford & Adams of ICI plan to attend.
