Dear Mr. Chairman: 



In response to your request, we are submitting a written statement 

 for the record in regard to the Subcommittee's hearing held on 

 November 9, 1993, on the medicinal uses of plants and the 

 protection afforded to plants under the Endangered Species Act. We 

 appreciated your invitation to submit written testimony on our 

 recent collaboration with the New York Botanical Garden. We 

 believe it is a collaboration that will benefit both Pfizer and the 

 Garden, and hopefully the public, with the discovery of new sources 

 of medicines to treat diseases. 



As requested, enclosed are five copies of our written statement. 

 Again, thank you for inviting Pfizer to submit written testimony. 



Sincerely, 



V
