Dear Dr. Gartland: 
This is to support and commend the statement made by the Public and 
Scientific Affairs Board of the American Society for Microbiology regard- 
ing the 64 page EA-FONSI related to the NIH approval of the application 
of Drs. Lindov and Panopoulous to field test ice-nucleation - minus bac- 
teria prepared by recombinant DNA techniques (48FR24549). 
The statement is intelligent, concerned and powerful. It is from 
responsible, well informed scientists. I add another voice in support to 
the end that this work and more like it in the future be freed from such 
mischievous interference. I am a member of the American Society for Micro 
biology, the American Society for Virology, the American Association of 
Immunologists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science 
and a fellow of the American Academy of Mic , "” K ' f
