And it's a good investment, isn't it?
Yes!
Do you know anything more about the efforts of the Japanese doctor?

Of the City of Hope.
I tried to see him in California and somehow or other I didn't see him this winter. He's not a clinician. But he was the first person to clone anything -- somatostatin. So he showed a way of getting at it practically, that you could do it.

He was a pioneer, yes.
You mentioned a little bit earlier the fact that there were some reports from the Japanese. Do we know more about what they are doing?
Well, we know that the Japanese confirmed the work of Gallo and that they're extremely interested in the vaccine naturally.
