Ben,

this is just a "quicky".  I don't have time to go in depth on these folks.

Just because they come up clean, doesn't mean much.

I'll try to get to the pediatric committee later,
but I'm jammed.

Hi Vince,

I just got off the phone with Ben and he is just swamped getting ready for next week's FDA Committee meetings.   I know I have seen e-mails back and forth about the committee members, but I haven't seen anything where it is all put together in one place.

I am thinking of trying to get a media release out from PsychRights and if you had or could easily put together something that describes the committee members and get it back to me that would be great.
