Mr. Jim Breslin:

I will be able to help on this point. In considering the number of cases, the word is not "escalating" but rather "increasing". That increase was seen as a good thing because the objective was to inform women and letters were issuing. Escalation in the parlance we are now using is referring to something that has gone wrong. Actually, the reports were giving increased levels of comfort that the objective that had been set had been accomplished.
