Science and Research committee One thing we have done is to say that, in cases in which we find our logo.... There are rules and standards that are used associated with the use of our logo.

Science and Research committee We're not quite there, and a lot can happen in the next few years.

Ted Hewitt
Science and Research committee I'm not sure I understand the question. In terms of safeguards, we're looking to achieve certain objectives with respect to the program.
