          Appeal No. 1997-1793                                                        
          Application No. 08/528,044                                                  


          basis, the examiner should reevaluate the declaration evidence              
          and again notify the appellants why the declaration evidence                
          is insufficient.                                                            
               For the reasons stated above, we remand this application               
          to the examiner for appropriate action.  This application, by               
          virtue of its “special” status, requires an immediate action,               
          MPEP      § 708.01, (D).                                                    


               The decision of the examiner is reversed.                              
                                REVERSED AND REMANDED
