SUBJECT: Interim Report of the Industrial Practices Subcommittee 
Thank you for your September 23 memorandum constituting an interim report 
of the Industrial Practices Subcommittee of the Federal Interagency 
Advisory Committee on Recombinant DNA Research. 
I, too, am impressed with the participation of the many Federal agencies 
in the Subcommittee meetings and the useful exchange of information and 
viewpoints which has occurred. I agree that it is important for the 
Subcommittee to continue meeting to monitor the ongoing work of the 
member agencies, and the nonfederal developments in this important area 
of science and technology. 
I appreciate your taking the time from your busy schedule to serve as 
Subcommittee Chairman.
