A report and a presentation would be made at the Board <br />meeting following the conference O'Connell stated. He further said <br />that this is really a two for one conference. There will also be an inter- <br />communication product market/demo going on simultaneously. <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
