Dear Dr. Frederickson, 
Enclosed is a letter, drafted at the Nucleic Acids Re- 
search Conference, supporting exemption of K12 experiments 
from the NIH guidelines. It was signed by 183 scientists. 
This is in response to the publication in the Federal 
Register of the agenda of the Recombinant DNA Advisory 
Committee. 
Yours truly
