Mr. DeNoble. That was the general conclusion. That work was 

 also under the control of Dr. Bill Dunn. 



Mr. Waxman. Thank you. Mr, Bliley? 



Mr. Bliley. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The only thing I'd like 

 to point out, we had a lot of talk today about contracts. I have an 

 employee agreement here by Abbott Laboratories, and I'd just like 

 your unanimous consent to insert it in the record and to read just 

 a little bit of it? 



Mr. Waxman. Without objection, it will be received for the record. 



Mr. Bliley. It goes on to say what the employees will do, and 

 the second paragraph, it says, "All memorandum, notes, records, 

 reports, photographs, drawings, plans, papers, or other documents 

 made or compiled by or made available to employee during the 

 course of employment with Abbott, and any copies or abstracts 

 thereof, whether or not they contain confidential information are 

 and shall be the property of Abbott, and shall be delivered to Ab- 

 bott by employee immediately upon termination of employment 

 with Abbott." So I just mention that to say that it's not uncommon 

 to have contracts of confidentiality with employees. Thank you, Mr. 

 Chairman. 



Mr. Waxman. Thank you, Mr. Bliley. Mr. Wyden?
