                comprising a polymer; and an oxygen barrier layer disposed between the                          
                internal layer and one of the first and second outer layers, where the oxygen                   
                barrier layer has a specified oxygen transmission rate (Br. 7).  Independent                    
                claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and a copy of this claim is reproduced

                          comprising the oxygen scavenger, and one of the first and second                      
                          outer layers, the oxygen barrier layer having an oxygen                               
                          transmission rate of no more than 100 cc/m2/24hr at 25°C, 0% RH,                      
                          1 atm (ASTM D 3985); wherein the antifog agent comprises a                            
                          material selected from the group consisting of:                                       
                          i) glycerol fatty acid ester,                                                         
                          ii) polyglycerol fatty acid ester,                                                    
                          iii) polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester,                                            
                          iv) polyethylene glycol alkyl ether,
