In the third paragraph of the commentary section of the press release, the following statement about Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion “Assuming the Department of Defense successfully completes its FIELD TESTING (emphasis added) of the product IN (emphasis added) the U.S. government’s fiscal 2007” should have read “...the Department of Defense completes its FIELDING PLAN for the product FOR the U.S. government’s fiscal 2007.”
