<p class="MsoNormal">As Lou is in Costa Rica until early next month, can you please provide an update on the processing of our award? In late January Lou told me he was not going to be able to review our pending annual report for at least two weeks. He then
approved the report while I was away on a long-planned trip to Asia. I came back to realize that we still needed to forward the abstract and C&P updates. I am worried that this delay has held things up. I have managed to keep the staff paid here but other
funds are extremely limited right now. Any info you can pass along would be helpful.<u></u><u></u></p>

to the abstract you want to suggest. We made some effort to follow the instructions you sent to us.<u></u><u></u></p>
