              Application No. 08/710,554

                     We will not sustain the rejection of claims 66 to 69 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as

              Raiser and Bilotta.   We have reviewed the reference to Bilotta but find nothing therein                 
              which makes up for the deficiency of Inland [illegible] Products Company, Doi and                        
              Schmitt-Raiser discussed in rejection 5 above.
