Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--Inter Company Collaboration for AIDS Drug 
Development

    Notice is hereby given that, on June 29, 1999, pursuant to Section 
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, 
15 U.S.C. Sec. 4310 et seq. (``the Act''), Inter Company Collaboration 
for AIDS Drug Development (the ``Collaboration'') has filed written 
notification simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal 
Trade Commission disclosing changes in its membership status. The 
notifications were filed for the purpose of extending the Act's 
provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual 
damages under specified circumstances. Specifically, although no 
changes have been made in the membership of the Collaboration, 
Collaboration member Astra AB of Sweden merged with Zeneca Group PLC of 
the United Kingdom to form AstraZeneca PLC, a United Kingdom public 
limited company. In addition, Collaboration member Agouron 
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of La Jolla, California has become a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Warner-Lambert Company of Morris Plains, New Jersey.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of the group research project. Membership in this group 
research project remains open, and Inter Company Collaboration for AIDS 
Drug Development intends to file additional written notification 
disclosing all changes in membership.
    On May 27, 1993, Inter Company Collaboration for AIDS Drug 
Development filed its original notification to Section 6(a) of the Act. 
The Department of Justice published a notice in the Federal Register 
pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on July 6, 1993 (58 FR 36223).
    The last notification was filed with the Department on November 30, 
1998. A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to 
Section 6(b) of the Act on January 29, 1999 (64 FR 4707).
