Dear Dr. Fredrickson: 
I support the revisions of the Guidelines for Research 
Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (Fed. Register, 44, 
69210-69248) proposed at the 30 November 1979 meeting of 
the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee, although I believe 
that we should finally dissemble both the guidelines and 
the federal apparatus which governs them.
