OPINION
We have carefully considered the entire record before us,
2Weispfenning (U.S. Patent No. 5,210,669) is listed in
the prior art of record, but it is not included in the
statement of the rejection. Since this reference was not
included in the statement of the rejection, we will not
consider appellants’ discussion of this reference in the
response to arguments section of the answer. See In re Hoch,
428 F.2d 1341, 1342, 166 USPQ 406, 407 (CCPA 1970).
