 Hello. Today I'm speaking to you from the research fields here at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines. These are the fields and others where area has conducted its research, research with partners, research for countries. The outputs of this research have been varieties and farming practices that have helped farmers grow better crops, better for the environment, better for consumers, for millers, for everyone who depends on rice. Research is part of what we do to establish that we are delivering something meaningful. We've been also involved in other research and in particular the work here in the Philippines on golden rice with our long-term partner the Philippine Rice Research Institute. This work was at the stage of being at the field trials similar to these but I'm sure many of you join us in the shock at what happened on August 8th when militant activists destroyed one of these field sites in the Philippines. The one in Pili, it was the Department of Agriculture region 5 official station, that's where the site where the work was being done. This work is part of the safety assessment approved and required by the Philippine government for its safety assessment of golden rice before it ever be released to farmers and consumers. If golden rice is shown to be safe and effective it can help reduce vitamin deficiency for hundreds of millions of people. But I want to thank everyone, the thousands of you who have signed the petition, who have written to us, who have spoken on behalf of the project, who have explained the project in terms that we didn't. This is a fantastic boost for our morale, our commitment and I want to tell you as part of our thanks we are not changing our commitment. We've committed since 1990 to work on improved rice varieties to reduce malnutrition in humans. We continue in this effort. Thank you for joining us on this effort.
