Re: [bc-gnso] Policy Calendar for 2-Jun-2011 BC Member call

["Marilyn Cade " <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the price control issue deserves BC attention. I am not  personally 
affected, but my understanding of the business entities with large defensive 
portfolios, or just portfolios, is that price increases, even on selective 
names like brands, could affect them negatively. 

Steve, did I understand from you that the BC would need a rapporteur on this?

Marilyn -
 
 Thanks for asking for our comment on the relaxation of price controls on the 
call today.  I'm sorry that I was unable to get to a place that was quiet 
enough to respond.  I'm at a conference and there was too much background 
noise.  MM does believe that this is a legitimate and material concern for our 
clients.
 
 Further, I'm sorry that I had to leave the call early.  If there are follow-up 
items or support that you need from us Elisa and I are happy to discuss via 
email.
 
 Best regards - Fred
