We have discussed the release with Bill Kloepfer and it incorporates his comments. As soon as you have had an opportunity to review the release, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have. The proposed release has been cleared by phone with Dr. Cline and is being sent to him for his review. A release date has not been set. Hopefully, it should occur by early to mid-Jtine, after the extension agreement has been executed by all parties and the support checks received. Dr. Cline will advise me of the UCLA public relations person with whom we should deal on this matter. As soon as I have this information, I will contact Bill Kloepfer and request ~ that he coordinate the handling of the release. Accordingly, would you please advise Bill or me if your company would like to receive copies of the advance release?
