                    2.   Statement under 37 CFR § 1.196(c)                            
               The rules authorize the board to make a suggestion on how              
          a rejection might be overcome.  With respect to our new ground

          applicant may wish to consider the following claim, which if                
          presented in place of current claim 1, would overcome our new               
          ground of rejection and all of our other observations about                 
          the deficiency of claim 1:

          medium comprises:

                         [1] the polyether groups of which consist of
