 * I don't think that is necessary a good thing. To me Wikipedia should be more and different from company's self-generated statements. Though, the current description seems okay, and I don't find anything very promotional in it. Samoojas (talk) 16:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh and please add internal links (a few were before that are now missing) to the text!! Samoojas (talk) 16:41, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

only one?
It is the only research institute without direct university support or association.

The only one in the U.S., or in the world, or in the history of the world? AxelBoldt 15:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure, and I work here! :-) I'll look into it, but I suspect it should be something like "It is the only major research institute in the U.S. without direct university support or association".  zowie 16:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure who added this statement, but we are a not-for-profit research and development organization. We are independent and not tied to a university; however, I believe there are a few other R&D organizations in the U.S. who are also not directly associated with an university. [User: SwRIWebManager]
