this 9/9//2014 letter</a> from J.T. Rannazzisi , Deputy Assistant Administrator, DEA Office of Diversion Control. It summarizes the final rule from the point of view of registrants. Parts of this letter relate to events. Of particular interest to the planning
of our event was this statement on page 2, paragraph 2:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
