SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Government's patent rights to 
this invention are assigned to the United States of America, as 
represented by the Secretary of Agriculture. It is in the public 
interest to so license this invention as Wisconsin Global Technologies, 
Ltd. and Bayshore Absorbent Products, Inc. have each submitted complete 
and sufficient applications for a license. The prospective co-exclusive 
licenses will be royalty-bearing and will comply with the terms and 
conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective co-
exclusive licenses may be granted unless, within sixty (60) days from 
the date of this published Notice, the Agricultural Research Service 
receives written evidence and argument which establishes that the grant 
of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 
U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.
Richard M. Parry, Jr.,
Assistant Administrator.
