Dear Sir or Madam: 
I would like to express my approval of the proposal by Dr. 
Winston Brill, summarized on page 79386 of the Federal Register, 
Vol. 45, No. 231, Friday November 28, 1980. His proposal is 
realistic, based on our current Information and experience of the 
past few years. The progress of recombinant DNA research will be 
hastened in this country if his proposal is adopted and unnecessary 
paper work and committee time will be avoided.
