Still don't get that 80% factoid--

U.S. TRADE, BY PRODUCTS: Double-digit growth in most export categories (Source: Department of Commerce)

Medicinals & pharmaceuticals-- (in millions)

1994--exports 6,093 imports 4,680
1995--exports 6,554 imports 5,544
1996--exports 7,330 imports 7,076
1997--exports 8,230 imports 8,737

Percentage change 1996-1997

exports 12%
imports 23%

-------------------------------------------------------

Now clearly the trend here is that the U.S. is importing more in the medicinals and pharmaceuticals area year over year, but 80% from abroad, now really! The hitch here could by the types of basic chemicals used in "prescription" manufacturing...A very different table from a source I have yet to find.

----------------------------------

My sanity has not quite yet been restored...Thank you for your attention...Have a nice day.
