Dear Dr. Fredrickson: 
Thank you for the draft environmental impact statement. The earlier mail- 
ing must have been lost in the postal system. 
I have examined the document, and my comments are attached. Also attached 
are those of Dr. Taylor's. I point out that she is a practicing microbiologist 
and is, in my opinion, better qualified to evaluate this matter. In addition, 
I've taken the liberty to solicit the views of two individuals outside of natur- 
al science. Those people are in no way anti-science, and their reaction to what 
might happen (as opposed to what can or can't be done currently) is worth some 
thought. We have no right to confine a decision on this matter to natural 
science circles. 
I hope our comments will be useful as we put some thought into them. 
Sincerely yours. 
John R. Wright, Ph.D. 
Asst. Professor of Chemistry
