My name is Richard E. Wainerdi, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Texas Medical Center, located in Houston, TX. Texas Medical Center is the largest medical center in the world. On behalf of all of the people and institutions of the Texas Medical Center, I am delighted to send you greetings and best wishes in this new coming year, the year of the Boar. This year 2007, we hope will be full of blessings and good health and wellness for all of you. We are particularly interested in this coming year, to study the various aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, so that we can learn from the great histories and traditions of China.

Thank you all very much. And we are looking forward to this great year and sharing with you our knowledge and good health.
