         instructions to take two tablets daily when directed. Estimated
         deliveries are as follows:

                    Ouantities                             Delivery Dates

             15M tablets (bulk, bottles)                      21 Dec 90

         of the doses to SM's in the AOR. After the third dose it takes an
         additional two weeks for immunity to build up for SM's to be
         protected.

             Ist Dose        2nd Dose            3rd Dose        Protected
