                    25. Furman has not directed us to corroboration for much of Dr. Furman's testimony.               
             Dr. Liotta's smples:                                                                                     
             26. Furman has submitted evidence that appears to be a letter from Dr. Liotta to the F 'Iman             
                    inventors. (Exh. 2038).                                                                           
             27. The letter, dated 3 November 1989, states as follows:                                                
                           As you know, we have recently developed a number of novel approaches                       
                    for synthesizing antiviral nucleosides. In the course of our studies, we have                     
                    prepared a number of novel nucleosides which, to our knowledge, have never                        
                    been tested for their antiviral activity. It would be very helpM to us if you could               
                    evaluate these materials in your antiviral screens. If you are interested in pursuing             
                    this matter, would you please arrange to have a testing agreement sent to me so                   
                    that we can initiate this matter?                                                                 

             28. Furman has submitted evidence that appears to be a letter from Dr. Liotta to Dr. Painter.            
                    (Exh. 2039).                                                                                      
             29. The letter, dated 18 July 1990, states as follows:                                                   
                    I was glad to hear that all the legal details between Wellcome and Emory have                     
                    finally been resolved. As a consequence, I am pleased to be able to send you                      
                    sixteen samples to be evaluated for antiviral activity. In accord with our                        
                    conversations on the matter, I have coded the compounds as DCL-01 through                         
                    DCL-16 (see attached sheet). I look forward to hearing the outcome of the                         
                    bioassays.                                                                                        

             30, Furman has submitted evidence that appears to be a research agreement between BW and                 
                    Emory University, (Exh. 2040). The agreement states, inter jilia, that:                           



                                                         14
