Emerging Technologies for Nutrition Research: Potential for Assessing Military Performance Capability

ner, is going to be a report that will be in high demand, because it has brought together so many ideas, so many innovative approaches, in one place. You rarely find that much in a report like this, so I think it is going to be something that is going to be highly visible and, again, puts more of a challenge on us as a committee and staff to try to be very, very careful and innovative in how we respond to that.

The committee will be meeting tomorrow morning to start the process of figuring out how we are going to do this. I would like to thank all of the speakers and all the participants for their involvement in this. Unfortunately, a lot of our speakers have had to leave. I think this has been one of the most stimulating couple of days that I have sat through. I certainly learned a lot of vocabulary I did not know anything about 45 years ago.

Some of the concepts that are expressed here are very, very new, even in all the readings that I have been doing over recent years. So I want to thank everybody for their commitment, for their time in this.
