Lutter, Ph.D. Associate Commissioner for Policy and Planning of the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), will be the featured keynote
speaker during day two of the 4th Annual RFID World, on March 1,
2006 at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas, Texas (

diverse array of high caliber speakers. Dr. Lutter's address will
focus on electronic track and trace technology as a means to fight
counterfeits and comply with the pedigree requirements of the
Prescription Drug Marketing Act. It will also discuss the FDA's
efforts to facilitate cooperation among the stakeholders in
pharmaceutical manufacture and distribution so as to ensure the
integrity of the U.S. drug supply. The FDA's efforts to cultivate
RFID adoption have led industry analysts to project that the RFID
revenue potential in the pharmaceutical industry will rise to more
than $2 billion by 2011. Day two of the RFID World 2006 program
will open with a keynote roundtable of early adopters discussing
lessons learned since implementing RFID and the technology's
evolution to Gen 2. Roundtable participants will include Carolyn

Crawford, general manager, NYK Logistics (Americas) Inc. "The
variety of issues and applications covered in the keynote and track
sessions on day two range from RFID in public policy and the
