Agriculture Secretary Penrose Hallowell said, "Avian influenza has baffled the nation's top poultry health specialists for many months.

"Many very important questions about the disease, its spread, detection and prevention remain. "Pennsylvania's poultry farms have become a testing ground for future work to prevent this disease from recurring. This research and testing is of critical importance," he said. The research grants, authorized by the Agricultural Research Committee, will provide funds from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture to the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Pennsylvania. Penn State researchers will focus on "Avian Influenza Surveillance and Virus Identification by Enzyme Linked Assay (ELISA)." This $20,500 project is designed to adapt an automated virus detection system to avian influenza using blood samples.

Results would be applicable to any laboratory used to test for the disease. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania will analyze "Pathogenisis Avian Influenza Infection of Chickens." This $14,000 project will conduct basic research on the disease, its spread, survival of the virus in the environment and other factors now in question.

"Time and time again, I have tried to clarify my views concerning black-Jewish relations in America and by extension, my views on ways to achieve peace in the Middle East, and my attempts have fallen on deaf ears. Jackson said some reporters have used a double standard in covering his presidential campaign.
