   1.                                                   We note the statement
that you do not currently track research and development expenses

                                                        filings to disclose the

other quantitative disclosure that provides more transparency as to

and development expenses incurred (i.e., by nature or type of
                                                        expense) which should
reconcile to total research and development expense on the
                                                        Consolidated Statements
