Dear Dr. Gartland, 
I am strongly In favor of the suggested revisions of 
the NTH guidelines. These revisions will be In the best Interest 
of the public by Increasing the rate of research and decreasing 
the bureaucracy of research. We now have extensive experience 
with DNA recombinant experliaents and have no reason to anticipate 
they will yield unknown hazardous organisms, quite the contrary.
