          using alumina as an inert support for a Lewis Acid catalyst in              
          a vinyl purification process.                                               
               Upon return of this application, it is ordered that the                
          examiner is to:

          (2) Determine whether U.S. Patent 3,125,609 alone, or together              
          with appellants’ admission, affects the patentability of the                
          claimed subject matter.
