          Appeal No. 1999-0869                                                         
          Application 08/644,608                                                       

               The Examiner does not reject the claims on the basis that               
          a limitation added by amendment is without support in the                    
          original disclosure.  In fact, the original claims have not                  
          been amended.  Accordingly, the written description rejection                
          is not proper.  The rejection of claims 1-13 under the written               
          description requirement of § 112, first paragraph, is                        
          reversed.                                                                    

























                                        - 5 -
