Dear Paul:
Enclosed are the results of the samples submitted to our laboratory on September
1, 1993. For your reference, these analyses have been assigned our service request
number K935098A.
All analyses were performed consistent with our laboratory's quality assurance
program. All results are intended to be considered in their entirety, and Columbia
Analytical Services, Inc. (CAS) is not responsible for use of less than the
complete report. Results apply only to the samples analyzed.
Please call if you have any questions. My extension is 216.
