I spoke there two years ago, and it was noted on the program AND on the sign
outside the room where I was speaking, as it was for the other speaker(s) on
breastfeeding.  I was impressed by the amount of trouble they went to to make
sure the entire galaxy of attenders KNEW that our honorarium/expenses were NOT
being paid by, in this case, Mead Johnson.
