Inc. Employee Savings and Security Plan
BENSALEM, Pa., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Offices of Howard G. Smith
announces that it is investigating claims against Merck & Co., Inc. ("Merck"
or the "Company")(NYSE: MRK) concerning whether the Company's Employee Savings
and Security Plan (the "Plan") imprudently invested in Merck stock and whether

participants in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
