                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-20,             
          and 29-36.  Claims 24-28, the other claims remaining in the                 
          present application, stand withdrawn from consideration.  Claim 1           
          is illustrative:                                                            
               1.  A method of inhibiting catalyzed oxidation of                      
               carbon-carbon composites comprising the steps of                       
               treating a carbon-carbon composite having pores with a                 
               liquid composition comprising (a) phosphoric acid, (b)                 
               a zinc salt, and (c) an aluminum salt, wherein the                     
               liquid composition contains less than about 0.1% by                    
               weight boron, and heating the treated carbon-carbon                    
               composite to a temperature sufficient to form a deposit                
               within the pores.
