          testimony by him  and others about his activities during this                 
          time period.                                                                  
               Dr. Morrison explains his activities during the spring                   
          months as follows:134                                                         
                    44.  Over the course of several months, beginning in                
               March of 1988, I was waiting for the new equipment and                   
               supplies to arrive at my home so that I could begin some                 
               serious testing of optical fibers for the invasive fetal                 
               probe.  While I was waiting at this time, I began                        
               adapting some or the equipment I had already obtained so                 
               that I would not have to wait any longer for certain                     
               necessary parts.  For example, I had already obtained a                  
               spectrometer from ARIES (Exhibit 109) [on March 28, 1988]                
               and had obtained a photomultiplier from Ealing Electro-                  
               Optics (Exhibit 107) [on March 3, 1988].  In order to                    
               effectively test the optical fibers for use in the fetal                 
               probe, these two pieces of equipment would have to work                  
               cooperatively with one another.  However, upon obtaining                 
               the spectrometer and photomultiplier, I found that the                   
               spectrometer could not communicate with the                              
               photomultiplier without a special adapter for connecting                 
               the two pieces of equipment.  I learned that it would                    
               take too long to order the special adapter from a                        
               company, so I set about constructing my own adapter to                   
               allow the spectrometer to communicate with the                           
               photomultiplier.                                                         
                    . . . .

               (t) August 30 - Received optical fiber ordered from                      
          General Fiber Optics, Inc. Packing list is MX 126.                            
               (u) September 3 - Received pin diode and two LEDs from                   
          General Fiber Optics, Inc.  Packing list is MX 127.
