<<<-- Vivus really is building on-site labs at the new facility. -- Per the confer call, they now send products out to labs before completing and selling a batch. This causes delays. And the new plant will have a lab on-site to speed up the process. -- Per the confer call, only 2 lines were up & running at the smaller facility. The 3rd line, which was cannibalized, may be up & running right now. But we probably won't know this until the earnings release on 1/15/98.>>> this is true; i remember them stating that they were surprised by low yields, and were caught off guard, because this work was farmed out. they did say that in the future, this work would be done on-site. Also, the woman who answered the phone said that they were producing MUSE at both the new and old plants. Seems like that would mean 3 lines are up and running, ahead of schedule. Mike

from the PFE board here on SI: To: betty ann poe (442 ) From: dino Wednesday, Jan 7 1998 12:36PM EST Reply # of 443 What's the investor relations number at Pfiser. I heard a rumor that the FDA has requested more information which will delay their decision past the anticpated March '98 date but would like to see if this can be verified. Thanks in advance.....
