Kramerclyde:

"Al was honored for lifetime achievement......Al letter was written by him to congess discussing the current state of the red tape getting innovative technology to the public....he states again his 15 years/1 to 1.5 billion doollars...he then discusses how to bring health care costs down and new products to market.........

the most important portion I found was his statement in his letter (I paraphrase) that I have begun to sell off all projects as it is too costly and agonizing.......this letter was read by Dana Rohr... Republican Congressman California.........

Al states in his letter that he is 86 years old and he is not in it for his own profit (again paraphrased)....

I found it strange because he was being honored but utilized the time to critique the regulatory system..

All shareholders should listen to this speech as I found it very interesting as it seems as though we will have the funding to get this through.........for those on Agoracom....search Al Mann CSPAN June 7th 2012. "
